This makes a very sturdy cradle that will keep the pan bolts tight. I have jerry rigged new ruber mounts and the welded cradle...

Re: Oversized rings? Piston play?

if you do put in a new set of rings, you will need to remove the ridge. If you don't, you will break the top ring, the piston or both. You need to actually remove the ridge before taking te piston out because the rings will catch ont he ridge.
