Vintageben Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hi there just looking for a little advice So please be gentle. So while I’m getting my engine rebuilt I was thinking of doing a quick tidy up on a spare engine that I have here that is in fair order but could benefit from a set of rings. My idea is that I could use this engine in the car while the rebuild is happening as it can take quite a while. Anyway before I order rings I want know I’m getting the right size etc. So I guess the only way to be really sure of the size will be to measure the pistons but I’m also wondering if the numbers stamped on top of the pistons mean anything, here’s a photo, oh and please humour me with this idea .
