Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords – October 2019

When installing piston rings, it is impor-

tant to oil up both the ring land and the

ring you are installing. Remember, you

want no metal-to-metal dry contact

points, and never drag the end of the

ring across the surface of the piston or

you will damage piston-to-wall sealing.

The rod bearings used by the K1 rods

in this engine build are from a Bowtie

application. Make sure you get these

bearings because standard large-

journal Chevy bearings will not work—

they’re too wide for the rod.

After installing the rings, we used a ring

compressor to, appropriately enough,

compress the rings around the piston

so they would fit into the cylinder bore.

Make sure to thoroughly lubricate the

cylinder bore and piston skirts before

installation.
