Has anyone experimented with omitting one of the two compression rings on the old aluminum bore flatheads?
Im just kicking around the idea, to see what happens to bore life.
I have disassembled quite a few of these old engines, and noticed the vast amount of carbon build up usually stops at the first compression ring, just how much does the second ring do? Im in the middle of rebuilding three H35s, one is going to get a single ring. Any ideas, opinions?
