Well, this looks like it will be another wasted weekend. When I check ring gap last weekend I started with the 2nd rings at they were at .013" gap. Since that was too tight, I didn't even bother checking the top rings. Just my luck, the top rings are sitting at .021-.0215" of gap. Per the Axtell instructions, it says with OE Harley cylinders, to set the gap at .016". I searched Summit and Jeg's for the rings I need, but since Axtell uses the big 1/16" rings, they don't have much of anything for 4.010" bores. They do have a set of 8 JE piston rings, but I was hoping to buy individual rings.
I guess I'll be giving Axtell a call Monday to see what they can do. This crap is getting old.
I have a chance to buy a 2008 Street Glide with 3,500 miles on it for $12,000. At the rate I'm going, I better jump on that....
