Just got a new set of rings for the '67 Loboy.
These rings are from Case/IH dealer. The oil control ring is one piece, as opposed to alot of them you see as 3 pieces. This is not including the expander spring which is installed in the groove first. I used a set of Hastings rings in my '49, they were easy to install, as there were 3 pieces and the thin metal was easy to manipulate.
I am afraid of breaking the oil control ring during installation with these IH rings though as they are quite stiff. I broke 2 of the old ones trying to get them off.
Anybody have any tips for installing the oil control ring. I have a ring spreader, but have been told to "spiral" the rings on.
