Pulled the rings off to check the current end gap and now I'm not only intrigued but also really confused. The 3rd & 4th rings were so loose they had no spring outward to hold themselves in the bore and fell out. All four were in the .010/.020" range when the motor was reassembled; I am absolutely certain of that.
Top ring = .038"
2nd ring = .081"
3rd ring = .177"
4th ring = .168"
How the poor thing still ran given the above measurements is also a bit baffling as well.
