has anybody got a contact that i can buy a set of stock (not metric) 80 over cast piston ring or cross reference rings i can use?

You know I thought it was funny that Rock Auto has .080 over pistons in the menu...but the OS rings only go up to .060...

Good question to ask....

-D.Idiot

You may be able to determine a part number for the .080 from the .060, then look for the .080 rings.........

The only engine I have found that runs that size bore is some of the Harley Davidson bikes. I have no idea what ring package they run though.


I am guessing you all ready have your pistons. If not I would go a different route.

Jess

Standard size is 3.40

2 compression rings of 5/64
1 oil ring of 3/16

Oversizes would be 3.42 3.43 3.44 and 3.46


You need to find a piston that uses 2 5/64 rings and 1 3/16 that comes standard at 3.48 bore or can get there with oversizes......

I just confirmed that the Harley Davidson piston are the same ring thickness as the slant six. Its one of the older HD's that have the 3.480 bore as a over bore ( I think it was the pan or KNuckle).


This shoudl get you a set if you look close at the specs.


BTW I bet some of the Ozzy guys can come up with a set also.

I just e-mailed Hastings to see if they make the 687 in +.080".

GM 8 cyl at 3.50 (267cuin) 79-81

Olds 8 cyl at 3.50 (260cuin) 79-81


with the 5/64 and 3/16 rings.


You could probably file fit these if you had to.

The Harley pistons are listed as 3 7/16 = 3.4375

some listings say 3.438


Then lots of oversizes .010 - .070 (.010 step)

I'd use .050 and file fit.



Note: I haven't found the ring thicknesses for the HD rings....

Doesn't look like the Harley rings are the correct thickness:

these piston are in the blower motor, i was looking for a spare set if i cook the rings, it has happened before.did the older 2.2 dodges have a 0.040 over piston that used a standard ring not metric? i have e-mailed hastings to, no answer yet. the GM vega had a 141cid 4cyl with a 3.50" bore will these file to fit if i can find them? are the 267cid a 3.50" bore to? i haven`t checked these. all the supplier have the piston but no rings. rock auto have drop the piston so i don`t know what that means!

i have found 2 sets on e-bay , standard 4.4l gm truck but the decripition saids 5/16", i think that`s a miss print!

i just got an e-mail from hasting`s,Terry~
