no good rings for 3.905 in 1/16,1/16,3/16? Got Wiescos pistons in a 3.905 bore and cant find anything except moly rings.
Anyone know of anyone that has better rings in those sizes?
Called Total Seal and JE.

I always had a bitch of a time finding rings for my old pistons. 3.910, same stack as yours.
The standard moly rings just wouldn't last, and 4" was the smallest I could track down for a hell fire ring.
Part of the reason we found the ring stack first this time, and cut the pistons to match
BTW, best I could do at that time was a gapless top total seal set. Atleast the leakdown stayed solid.

THe issue is the size ring for the Wiesco pistons.
Childs and albert has a chrome plated stainless top with ductile iron second.
I cant find the part number, but thats where I got them.

We have a nice ring pack for the 3.905" bore 1/16 1/16 3/16.
It is a stainless chrome top, moly second. It will hold up to anything you can throw at it.
The moly second is a bit of an over kill... however it is very strong.
You can give us a call if you still need some rings. I have one set in stock.
Thanks,
