Piston Ring Filing 101: How to Properly File Your Piston Rings (& Why It’s So Important!)

If you've watched any of our earlier videos on piston rings, then you already know how important piston ring gap is to engine performance. And to get the precise piston ring gap you need, you’ll likely have to file the piston ring ends.
