So I just finished installing the wrist pin wire locks but I have a question. Is there a problem if an end of the wire lock lands in the notch thats used to remove them?

Wire lock? You mean snap ring? Even if that's what you're talking about, I still don't know what you mean.

Yes the snap rings holding the wrist pin in.

Please see the picture below.
Just above the point labeled as 6, there is a small notch which can be used to pry out the old snap rings. My question is, in installing the rings, does it matter if the end of a ring is just hanging in this gap? Should I span the gap with the solid portion of the snap ring?

Doesn't really matter as long as the wire clip is bottomed in the groove

That's an intelligent, well-worded first post. How the hell do you know my experience level? I didn't know what he meant because it's kinda hard to tell by the description. Now go throw your poop at the zoo visitors, you simple-minded, pathetic excuse for a primate.

I think it's someone who has a beef with me & a couple others on here. Probably created a 2nd user id just to start shit. If that's the case, I have a couple ideas who it could be......

Find him , throw a bag over his head , beat him with socks full of soap.
lock him in his own trunk. and break the key off in the lock.
then kick his R/R quarter panel in.. That'd be funny

Dude, seriously??

One moronic comment doesn't justify another racist and moronic comment.

I don't mean to be a jerk about this, but seriously man...

I'm not trying to take sides, but he's right. Be careful how you strike back because that's how really big arguments start. I have learned that the hard way (I have trouble holding my tongue).

Besides, this phuc-u-td guy is an idiot...he left a stupid response to one of my posts too...essentially he said something that was already said. Must have made him feel good, I dunno...

Either way, these are the dudes you should just ignore...they'll go away or get banned eventually.
