Ring end gap placement should be one of the first things considered .
My Simplex replacement piston came with no ring locating pins .
I ran it that way for a short while . Every time I took the top end off , I found the ring ends traversing intake ports , even though I had them set at 120° ( straddling ports ) when previously installed . I installed roll pins and reshaped the ring ends to eliminate the problem .
