As the title says i was taking the 2nd ring off of the weisco pistons and the ring snapped! Has anyone heard of the rings being this brittle? After using this rings/ pistons combo in over 4 motor build i have never had this happen. Am I beat or is this something that could be taken care of from the dealer as I bought them a week ago

 

how far did you bend them? they aren't very hard to snap >.<
were you using your hands or a tool?

 

taking them back won't help. unless you opened it and it was already broken. you might be sol

 

Let me guess you tryed to take the 2nd ring off all at one time, instead of moving it up to ring land 1 then off.

 

Nah, I actually moved the ring up the piston... after looking at the ring more closely it looks like the breaking point of the ring had a weird marking on it. Ill post pics later

 

Rings crack very easy if you don't use a ring expander tool.
