Went a little over on a 2 rings when filing. Does anyone know where I could purchase 2 Diamond 3.905" top rings?? Diamond says they won't do it, so I hope I'm not SOL here.

I have a broken up set I would be willing to part out a few rings from. I'd be looking for $25 for the rings I can have them in a box today and out the door if ordered by 5pm EST.

that sounds like a killer deal to me...if you only went over .001"to .002" I would not worry about it.

A bit expensive but it sucks breaking up a set of $170 rings just to get 1 set for 1 piston and then having 7 left over.. That's why we have to make up some cost. But I do have them sitting here waiting to leave. As Brent said if its very close I wouldnt worry too much but depends on what you are setting the car up for n/a, fi, n2o.. N/A is a little more forgiving than any of the others obviously.

I'm only about .001-.002", maybe a little more over on the 2, but the ends are pretty choppy and uneven. Call me picky, but I'd like to redo. I'll give you a call, thanks..

Another thing you can do, is try that ring in another cyl bore. All bores should be the same, but just moving it to other bores, you might find that the feeler gauge is just a little tighter that the others in one or more cyl bores. if you have you old pistons, you can make a cool test tool by popping two used rings inthe groove of the piston, then put the new ring in the bore and push the piston down (upside down) into the bore until the rings hit. That way your rings are at the same height everytime. here's the best i could draw up in paint in 3 minutes
