Checking the ring end gaps and plastic gauging the crank shaft for oil clearance – The Build

Now that this 396 Big Block Chevy engine is on the engine stand, it’s time to check the ring end gap. The Build team and Smyth Automotive want to make sure that when the rings go up and down the cylinder, the rings will expand once hot. Next they’ll check the oil expanders and then move onto inserting the crank shaft and plastic gauge it to make sure there is enough oil clearance.
