I'm redoing a head on an 82 DOHC Maxim 400 and figured I might as well replacing the rings, especially since I broke the 2nd ring on one of the pistons while removing it. My ring end gap is within spec for the remaining rings. But since I busted one, am I correct to say that I should replace them all? I could get a used one off a parts bike I have. If I get the ring end gap to be comparable to the others, is that all that matters? I don't have a tool to measure the bore; with only 15K on the engine, I wasn't going to worry about it. I'm also unsure when oversized piston rings should be used. Any advice?
