Piston Rings Source

[platt-deutsch]

Does anyone know of a source for a set of Piston Rings for 25 DB?

Also does anyone know what the numbers stamped in the top of the original pistons mean..

These are original pistons. The rings seem to have lost a lot of thier tension.. I suspect that is why it is burning some oil..

Try EGGE Machine in Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs, California. They have a web site. They rebuild vintage auto engines.

Egge has rings for their pistons. Yours are for original pistons? Do you have contact info for Otto Engine Co.?

Hi Dave..

Ja.. Otto Engine

Very helpful guy.. makes rings from 3/4 inch to 81 Inch.. I have no idea what they are for..

In the bottom ring groove I will drill 8 3/32 holes for oil return and Otto engine is sending me a special oil ring that will fit that same groove. Should be the end of the smoke and carbon build up, plug fouling etc.. Original had no oil rings.
