Thanks for your reply!

Could you explain what that means at all?

Many thanks

Thanks a lot for your help! Turns out the rings are really worn so I have some new ones on the way!

Thanks again

How do your pistons and cylinders spec out?

This ring gap turned out to be a massive 2mm! I can only get 0.12 between the piston and barrel, so hopefully just new rings
