JaysZ Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 for anyone interested in buying new piston rings, i just bought mine from Deves and it seems to be a high quality product. they are cast iron and the lady on the phone said they normally don't stock product, they just build it to order. my particular set here is a std size ring set for ZX flat tops (no valve relief) with the compression rings being 1.5mm and 2mm. the oil rings are 4mm. the part # is 2147 (shown in first pic) and the cost was $100 even, shipped to my door. box with part # manufacture date (7/19/06) individually wrapped oil rings compression rings i'll post installation photos and comments on fit later...

olie05 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 cool, was custom the only way? The ones you had before had a chromoly top ring, iirc. These are all cast iron? sorry i didn't get to ask you these questions on the phone earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaysZ Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 i'm not sure if custom was the only option, but since rockauto was out of stock (discontinued) and autozone didn't specify the widths of theirs, i just went this route. however, cast iron won't last as long as the chromoly from what i understand. am i correct on this?
