Re: Wanted - STD Size Piston Rings
Don't let him get a big head, I am pretty sure it was me that turned him on to Otto Gas engine works. And it was Bernie that turned me onto them, they have a antique engine show at their farm every year the week after Gilbert I think it is. That is why I am wondering why Bernie didn't mention them.

Re: Wanted - STD Size Piston Rings
Hold on a minute, fellas, I seem to remember that someone posted a note saying that "Perfect Circle" rings did not fit. I had them listed in my own parts cross-reference and subsequently I deleted that reference. I was told the recommended replacement is as follows:-
ENGINE
1. PISTON RINGS:
Hastings 2C 6353 (Hastingsmfg.com).
Cylinder bore (STD) = 3.875" (98.425mm)
Oil control rings (set of 4) 3/16" width
Compression rings (set of 8 ) 3/32" width
I have not had the opportunity to verify what I was told, so I'd advise caution and further checking before purchasing either version.

Re: Wanted - STD Size Piston Rings
Ken, you may be right on the Perfect Circle rings, I'll try to find the box I have with the 2 left over set's in it to see what brand they are, I used the 6cyl Chev, rings on mine when I had to take it to .020 oversize,muttguru wrote:Hold on a minute, fellas, I seem to remember that someone posted a note saying that "Perfect Circle" rings did not fit.

they fit and worked fine so far. I'll let you know the brand as soon as I find the box.

Re: Wanted - STD Size Piston Rings
Otto supplies rings by size and not application so you need to have the piston diameter, the ring width for both compression rings and the oil control rings. No matter what it is always prudent to check end gap with the rings centered in the cylinder and make sure they are to spec. If they are too close you could end up with scored cylinders and broken rings. To loose and you loose compression and get blowby.
