Anybody know of where I can source 96 mm piston rings? I found one at the Type IV Store but they say for Keith Black pistons. Are these different? Thanks!

I order mine from Total Seal. I've had 2 sets of Grant rings not seat but the Total Seals work great.

Not all pistons are the same. you MUST know the ring land sizes and radial depths for the rings to be properly matched to the pistons.
I prefer the Hastings rings, Total Seal rings never seal for me... The Grant rings are horrible. What pistons do you have? |

I have the P&C set at the machine shop and they measured the rings and said they were both the same at 0.062 in, which is 1.5 mm? All the ring sets I've found are either 2.0 mm top and bottom or 1.5 and 1.75 top and bottom? Are there any sets that are 1.5 mm top and bottom?
I think the P&C's are from China - so anything is possible! |

Just a thought....
Who did you buy the pistons from? See if you can find the contact details and get a set of rings from them... Just a thought. Rich |
