LS1 Engine Build - My First Stroker

After clocking the gaps in the top and second rings so they are about 180 degrees apart, the complete ring set is fully installed. You can see here the compression height (distance between the centerline of the pin and the face of the piston) that we discussed earlier in the story. Again, a decent size stroke has been coupled with a fairly long rod here, so these pistons have a 1.123-inch compression height. Consequently, the pin protrudes slightly into the oil ring area. The top compression ring (bottom of photo) is still kept a reasonably safe distance from the piston face, leaving adequate ring land for when things get hot in the combustion chamber during our moderate nitrous usage. And we'll still be able to enjoy the dividends of a good rod-to-stroke ratio. View Related Article
