piston rings for the 2 strokes out of cast iron pipe - 5 of the 15
students actually got their engines to fire up!!!!

"The Gods Must Be Crazy" has a lot of fun with a Land Rover whose native-installed new pistons or rings were fitted too tightly for the starter to move, so it had to be left running unattended and tended to chase off into trouble.
I got them a little too snug on a rebored dirt bike and had to stop to cool off at any hint of binding.
