Thanks Tom F. for your input. After pulling the sleeve out a little further, we found that the one of the rings was broken. So...we order a set of rings from BD or Ken, do we need to change all the piston rings (all four pistons) or can we just change one or two without stressing the two pistons on the other side. I understand that in order to reach the wrist pin on the piston we need to pull, requires removing the first piston. So, change one, two or all? Thanks
