My bottom piston ring is broken, the top ring is fine! will it run with just the top one?

no do not run it like that! if an engine was designed to run with 2rings theres a purpose to them. I believe the bottom one controls oil dispersion.

It's possible that it MAY run on just the top but your engine won't last.. Try to get both rings on.
