Total Seal didn't actually have a part number for OEM replacement rings, so it's billed as a custom set. I was at Patterson and he called the sales guy there, just rattled off the dimensions and wha lah this ring set came:
And the receipt shows $232.95, not $220.
Our local carb shop recently acquired the equipment to do it, they do a pretty darn good job. I was pleasantly surprised when I oiled them up for install (to do cam degree), they get slicker than snot with oil on them.
They were each oiled up, so I squirted a rag with brake parts cleaner and gave them a wipe. The residual you can see in the pictures is either brake parts cleaner that hadn't dried yet or oil that I didn't get wiped off. They clean up perfectly if you wipe them off with a little intention.
All 8 have this discoloration on the underside. Seems like common used piston coloring from the few motors I've taken apart. Just wanted to show it so that eventual purchaser isn't surprised by it.
And for reference, pin, ring set, two snap rings, and piston total weight is 658 grams:
