Went out to the shop to gap rings. I was able to get 15 rings done but ended up breaking the last ring. The last ring was used to square up the rings for measurements while it was on the piston. When the time came to take off the ring, I man handled it and broke the ring. Apparently rings are very brittle... noted...

All the rings are gapped to .23.

Guess I'll need to order a new ring Monday. CP probably only sells them in packs of 8. Oh well. Live and learn.
