What color is the car?

This information will be as useful as the information already provided.

Here are the settings I used:

Red 320°32'

Orange 121°

Blue 5 o'clock

Green 17.5°

Indigo 42°

Violet 42°5'34"

Be careful not to upset them when inserting them into the grooves. (Quiet, cooing noises seem to help calm them)

Was your Escort factory equipped with the Henway option or without?

hemtar,

Piston rings are used "as received". There is no adjustment.

A nominal gap would be .04 per inch of bore.

BTW, I am looking to sell a set of rings for an Opal.

(Seems my wife and I do not agree on exactly what constitutes an opal ring.)

Thanks. She thought it was funny too. But she did like the smaller one that fit on her finger better.
