Are These Rings Really for Aluminum Pistons???

Post by StevenS » Sat Feb 08, 2020 8:39 pm

I got these with some parts and I do not have any aluminum pistons to make sure if these are for those types of pistons. Could somebody tell me if these are truly for 0.010 oversized aluminum pistons. I have eight of the TYPE 205 rings and four of the TYPE 291 rings in each package.

1/8" compression rings and 3/16" oil rings is a pretty common ring package for T replacement pistons.

But not for cast iron that use 1/4 in all three slots.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:
