Default Need some advice...snapped a ring..
Well when I went to install my #8 piston apparently the ring wasn't seated correctly so when I tightened the ring compressor the 2nd ring snapped. Any ideas on easy solutions?

it depends on whos rings they are. Youll need to contact them or your shop that you got them from and they can find out.
