<DIV><SPAN class=387185000-03072003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I just
rebuilt #1 I have 3 and used a metal stamp kit and punched a number 1,2,3 in
each so I can tell the difference. Anyway for what it is worth, I just replaced
the ring in #1 and it is tricky too. I found it worked to insert the
piston/ring combo onto the crank, then insert the sleeve, but it is a very
delicate procedure... Don't get in a hurry. it will go, and once it slips in you
will say, Wow!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
