I looked threw all the posts and could not find the answer to the question of the ring for 8011 engine. did find and I knew the ring gap should not be by any ports. I took an 8011 a part and cleaned it up and cleaned the ring, and set the ring away from any ports did improve idle and compression. it ran very well for a well used engine, now when I took the muffler off I saw the ring gap was showing in the ex port, should I redo it or leave it alone, don't like having the ring gap showing in the port. Thanks for any help or advice.
