Wiseco ring problem!

Went to pick up the engine from the machine shop and the guy from the machine shop said these rings don't look right. They are the wiseco gfx rings included with there pistons. Its the oil rail for 2 pistons.

Perhaps it's the picture, but I don't see anything wrong. Can you be more specific?

He said all the other oil rings were gold and that these don't feel right. I'm just looking for some insight.

He or you would need to elaborate more than "they dont feel right" and are not gold.

Even though it looks like a perfectly normal oil ring in the photo, and you cant make out the colour. Not that the colour matters

nobody will be able to tell from afar without a proper explanation. Do the rings fit or not ?

I had the same problem with two of ring packages. Here is a pic for you guys of the problem I was having so you can see what he is talking about. They have sent you the incorrect oil ring setup, which are too small in both height (I believe) and width. Best thing to do is send them a pic of the comparisons and give them all of the part#s on the packages, etc. After I got the replacements, they were still wrong, but finally got resolved the second time around. They took good care of me.
