And that is how my system came to be.
But I did end up very near to the beginning, taking the engine out, to open up both the skirt clearance AND the ring gaps; after which it was smooth sailing. Of course while the engine was out and apart, I had the decks cut, lol. Not for more compression, but to throw the .028gasket away which couldn't take the pressure, and swapped in the .039 FellPros , But Ok...... I did pop the Hypers out of the holes about .007
