Hello,
We have been working on re-installation of standard pistons on our RZ500 project bike. We have new oem rings for stock original pistons. It seems one top ring groove is dirty as the new ring just won't go in perfectly.
We suspect carbon buildup.
Is there a small piston ring groove cleaner out there. Google doesn't seem to think so...
Please help,
Thank you.
Tony

I find a dental pic works nicely. Like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-6-PC-DENTA ... xy3yNTf-qY
