pinasco 215 kit piston ring replacement, when?

hey there fellas,

anyone knows how many km these rings can hold up until replacement, under moderate use?

thanx

I'd not do more than 10-12k on a set. Keep an eye on the ring gap and visually check the thickness.

Thanks
any idea what the gap should be?

[pxguru]

minimum gap on most barrels is 0.25mm. Once they are over 1mm it might not be starting easily or pulling as well as it did. I have seen standard 200 rings get to 2mm and still run sort of ok.

thanks.
