Has anyone got a set of new piston rings that they are not going to use now & are wanting to sell. I don't need pistons as i've got spares but i need rings. Photo shows why :shock:

When I did my rebuild we used Suzuki rings with the pistons needing minor machining to suit. I couldn't find originals at the time (5 years ago), it wasn't too badly priced at the time.

If you do find originals let us know where you found them!

Yep will do. Last time i got rings was when i first replaced rings & bearings in this engine about four years ago. I had to buy two sets of Grant rings from the states as one set used black coated steel compression rings & the correct oil ring & the other set had the right stainless steel compression rings but incorrect oil ring. It was the more expensive way of doing it but for my other engine i had the piston lands re-grooved to suit a common ring type, i can't remember what they were.
