Default LS2 Ring Lands

It's probably a set for an LQ9. They have a 1.5,1.5,& 3mm ring package where the the LS2 has 1.2,1.5,& 3mm.

Hey, I'm looking for piston rings for LS2 pistons too - I am measuring 1.2/1.5/2.5 for the ring pack and checking on the GM performance parts site, thats whats listed for a LS2. Ain't cheap from GM @ 28.00 I think a piston????? Odd ball ring thickness sizes!!!
I'm going to keep looking for some aftermarket, if anyone makes any???

They are going to cost you about $20/ring set minimum from a mahle dealer. Wiseco also makes those ring packs and they are $28 too.

lq4/lq9 use the same rings only diff. is the piston
crown, where lq9 is tru flat top with no vr's
and lq4 has 7cc spherical dish with no vr's. ring package is the exact same
one.for both engines
