Hi JonE,

I think wellworthy originally done them.

My understanding the rings were softer. The crimped ring was to put more tension on the ring. As if it was a harder ring.

I havent used the newer version, as I have my own pistons.

The advise to leave the crimped ring out, may be because the rings they use today are harder.

The supplier you bought from may be able to advise better.

Tony.
