Default Need Spirolox retaining rings

I have new 6.0 flat tops and H rods and need the correct Spirolox retaining rings for my LQ9 sealed power replacement Pistons. Anyone know what size or part number for these rings I need.

Before you buy the GM, you may want to check with Speed Pro and see what they recommend since it is their pistons. If anything, they probably have something cheaper than GM. I'm pretty sure you're looking for c-clips instead of spirolox though.

Okay, it looks like I have some problems here. My speed pro h1129 pistons are pressed pin type according to their specs? But the Pistons have the groove for the retainers. I need retainers as my rods are for floating pins. The pin bore is 0.945" on the rods

If it has the grooves, then it should be ok to use with the floating pins. If they didn't come with the c-clips, then you may just need to call and see what they have. If the c-clips are wrong for the groove, then they can come out and cause some bad juju.

Just for the record, the GM (12569638) retainers will not work. I finally got ahold of Speed-Pro and they said I need their LR-63 retainers for these pistons.
