but after the bike is altogether do I kick it and it will recompress itself? also the piston is the right size for the cylinder but when the piston has the rings on it it doesnt slide in the cylinder?

you said you ordered a NEW cylinder didnt you? are you pressing the rings with your fingers before sliding it into the cyl.? and are the rings in their locating pins? or if it is a new cyl and the piston WONT fit, did you order a standard sized piston?
chris-mets:
wiseco makes parts that perform better than the nos parts. and yes I bought the standard sized piston and cylinder which is 43mm. The rings are in there locating pins. I take the cylinder and piston and try to put the piston in the cylinder with my hands but the rings are shaky which i think they are supposed to be.

the rings are shaky? :?
chris-mets:
yes, i took the piston and rings out of the box and put them both on. they spin and dont stay in their little pin spot. Do I bend them in or something. People say usually the ring gaps are always loose out of the box
1989kawasaki:
thats because you have to keep them pressed in with your finger
