You have to be real careful with out a proper tool once you have the ring on and I advise using lock tight .and quickly put the flywheel on to push the ring in to its proper depth!

And really you should use a proper installer for the ring it can be real temperamental to install straight! We had a tool to install that pushed the whole shooting match on in one go and to the proper depth! just saying

Heinz?

Yup! Run some water over that pipe that the Heinz is showing you we called thes the asshole pipe designed by a Volvo idiot! the last thing to happen on a Saturday afternoon end of the day! You think you’re done and then this!

played around with oilers. Not sure when I will get alignment tool so I think I will go off law of averages and get them all close to the same. Me thinks You should be fine doing that! as for the seal are you using the wiper ring or just a bare seal!?

yup he weren't flippin burgers to qualify for that! banks are Criminal!

AHHH! out of my league!

Ch will be vGT me thinks!

I do understand your concern! Max book specs I would guess ! unfortunately we aren't there so I guess all we can do is count on your expertise to make a call! If they are all Mack parts If I were doing what you are doing I would go with it! and trust that the parts they made are good! ! have built quite a few 237 and 285 E6 and never encountered an issue BUT there is always that possibility I guess! your call Bro! I personally feel good about how your attacking this! Just Sayin!

So i see did you check the ring gap in the bores and you did have to file some ends! If you didnt file too much I would put this question in a a dark corner and move on! You can stew for ever on this ! Joey mentioned putting in a piston with out rings that is a good thought! But what is the min- max measurement with that method just a gut feel ! I have a gut feel as well and it is if it ran before it will run again ! if these pistons are NEW Mack pistons or the old ones they will be fine if they came with a kit they should be fine if they are what you ordered! Just ME!

Nope I not that guy! Sorry! No brain function today!🙄 This is another it ran before it will run again sinario!

Do you have the piston cooler target plate?

Injector cups!

Congrats bro!

agree! help others that's the idea here!
