roysboystoys Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I have this unopened container of piston rings, 1933 Chevy , .020 over Any one have a book that tells contents? Number 600640 Don't know if it's a full set or just oil rings Makes a nice display piece as is, so I don't want to open it Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Likely a full set (it says complete set) for 6 cyl car, and .020 oversize would likely not suggest there is more than one set in there, likely each wrapped in protective wax type paper, but who knows. Does can rattle? It would be interesting to see if they have remained in perfect condition in what may not be a perfectly sealed container.

It also says " Grooved oil rings" , that's what made me raise the question. No rattle Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I think oil rings came in a couple of different styles, grooved and "wrinkly" (my word not theirs!). Lack of rattle suggests they are likely wrapped for protection. amazing the things that show up on here. Hard to say how far back the package dates, GM was likely selling these into the 50's/60's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
