0.083 over piston rings
I've got a set of pistons 0.083" over stock 3 3/16". Were these made for use after removal of stock sleeves? Any ideas where I can track down a set of rings? Tried hastings and no such luck...

The availability of those pistons dried up decades ago making them valuable. I do not know whether or not they are now being reproduced.

Re: 0.083 over piston rings
I bought my pistons from Egge for my 8BA. They were their stock 4 ring piston spcl order so it takes a couple of weeks to get them.
Seems like I ran stock Hastings .080 rings, the .003 dia difference shouldn’t translate into a appreciable difference in the final end gap measurement...... Also used total seal to seat the rings.

Re: 0.083 over piston rings
I believe JWL posted that he may have some of the .083" over stuff he'd sell. Might contact him to see.

Re: 0.083 over piston rings
Might as well go to .125 over. @0 more cubs and one point in CR. Angle mill the heads .070 and get another point in CR. Make a nice driver, with good mirage,
