Cylinder question

[diesel]

Should a new Piston without its rings be able to travel the length of a new Barrel without tightness while on the bench? in other words should it drop through or might it need to be pushed?

[mark]

pushed with a bit of resistance, what cc and whats your ring gap and your piston to bore clearance?

[Feeble]

without its rings it should drop through mate

[mark]
