Nice job Pete. I have built 6 model M motors in the last 10 years and not once have I had an issue with a ring hanging up in the ports. I’m skeptical about how pervasive this problem can be.  I’ve ridden trust rusty many miles over the last 10 years and it always fires up in 1 or 2 kicks.  Is there a downside to pinning the rings? Uneven wear or anything like that?

Rick ,

 I pinned the rings more as preventive maintenance .
I've seen too many 2 stroke rings catch a port and ruin the top ends .
Better safe ...

As for any abnormal wear or any downside ,  none that I've ever seen .
As far as I know , most , if not all , modern 2 stroke motors use pinned rings .
There is even a patent on a self aligning ring . Below is an illustration of that .
