HI all, can anyone tell me what the difference is with the piston rings for a GS750 8 valve engine and a 16 valve engine.
 
Hello,
Have a look on the parts list that is available many places on the net and choose the partsdrawing for each model,then you may see what partnumbers are different and if some are the same.A good place to look for old gs bikes are
Remember what is named GS750 8 valve(1976-1979) all other places than USA after 1979 the 16 valves are named GSX (E or EX) so if you want to compare partslist and numbers around the world have this in mind if you browse various parts sources other than us webshops for parts.

Thank you gsman - the reason I asked that question was that when I stripped my 750 engine down I found it to have a good std bore of 65mm.
I ordered new rings to suit only to find that the new rings were narrower than the old rings. I haven't been able to find out why - everything I look up tells me the thickness of the new rings. Anyway, to solve my problem I have ordered a new set of 65mm std pistons and rings.
