Opps bent a oil spring piston ring lock (help needed)
Opps bent a oil spring piston ring lock (help needed) Hey guys I was going for piston number 2 install. Anyways I bent one of the oil locks that go on the oil piston ring. Here is a picture of what I am talking about.

Anyways I need to get a new one. I have a sealed power set of .030 rings. Anyways a single set is on back order for a few weeks and the local part stores cant get just one. So I was on summit and found these. They are a JE piston brand.

Could I just order two of those for my one piston? Its spring break and I would really like to get the car moving again. Its been down for 3 years and everything I need is here except for one bent oil lock ring.
Any ideas? Summit could have these to me tomorrow and I could have the car going by the weekend.

Try to contact Sealed Power about a part number for just the oil control ring set, then call Jegs or Summit if you get it. They may be able to do a special order it for you. I had the same issue when installing one of the JE pistons in my Subaru. I got just one oil control ring (all 3 pieces) for like 10 or 15 bucks. Only took a couple of days to get it to me.
Well after some research I ordered two of the JE ones. Since summit can have it to me next day at ground shipping and they should work. Called my local performance shops. Nothing in stock and it seems sealed power is on back order for 1 set. So lets hope the JE ones work.

The ring you bent is one of the two oil control rings on each piston. The wavy part in between is only a seperator.

Verdad Gallardo Those JE oil ring spacers won't work. They are for stroker pistons that have the piston pin bore that extends into the oil ring groove on the piston. They provide support for the oil control ring.
The ring you bent is one of the two oil control rings on each piston. The wavy part in between is only a seperator.
