I was being dumb and tried to put the cylinder back on and didn't realize that there was a little notch to align the ring, so I forced it on with a screwdriver (like a dumb****) and the piston ring snapped. I figured that it was just a really high tension ring or something that wouldn't bend. At least piston rings arn't pricy for the china engines.

I'll have to look into that video. Thanks for the info
