petrg,
which ring was broken ?
What type of oil rings were fitted? A one piece or segmental ?
What is the clearance between pistons and bores ?
If they are one piece oil ring fit one in a bore and check the distance between the ends .
The cast split skirt pistons run tighter clearance than the original forged pistons .
