Subject:      Oil ring gap

Hola Amigos:

I would like to know if anyone remembers what is the gap for the oil rings;
Iīm changing all rings in the pistons but the oil ones seem to have a huge
gap and donīt know if it is right. (Gap measured with rings inside the
cylinder)
My Gertrudis is a 84 German Westy; 1,9 Liters with carburetor.

Mechanic is assembling all tomorrow and I am afraid measures arenīt right.

TIA
