    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

have a set of big bore pistons of each but having trouble getting rings alone, does anybody know what the story is with replacing th rings in these please?
 
Better specify bore sizes and groove widths Spyda...
Some of the early race stuff used odd thickness rings for which - if the pistons are usable - remachining the grooves can be the only way out.
I can machine to suit if you find wider rings.
 
73mm actually one set is mtc, was told wiseco but just checked... cheers greg
 
The groove widths are the important bit - and you'll need something better than a plastic caliper for that measurement.
 
I have some digital calipers and the width of the grooves would be real hard to measure accurately.
 
You could get in touch with total seal and maybe send them a piston and they should be able to figure it out.
 
Deves piston rings out of Las Vegas can make you any ring you want. They made me a complete set of rings for my 80s era wiseco xt series pistons. If you knew your measurements he could take them over the phone, I chose to send him one of my pistons and he had no problem with that. Fast turnaround 702-646-2700

I want to say he charged me $88 bucks +s&h. I know it was under a $100. I thought it was pretty reasonable for a 4 cylinder
