350 sbc ring problem???????
I am installing a new set of rings, standard bore, only thing different is that the cylinders was honed. I have used 2 different set of rings and the oil rings are to tight to fit in the bores. piston goes right in with comp rings. I also cleaned ring grooves with no luck. Any Ideas?

Did you check the oil ring end gap? the rails may be butting.Bill
|
ring gap
yes approx .025 oil ring gap
|
Make sure you have the correct radial thickness ring for your piston, in other words the ring could be thicker than the groove is deep.

problem solved
in 87-88 they made a shallow groove pisto and the standard deep groove we have the shallow groove. Thanks for your input
