Conquest or Century Piston Ring
Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2018 6:57 pm
Hello,
Does anyone has a new standard size piston ring I could have, buy or borrow.
I have stripped a seized conquest century engine which I hope to rebuild. I can't detect any significant wear in the bores but the old rings have a too large a gap. Before buying a complete new set of rings, I would like to check that the gap is not excessive, using a new ring, ie the bores are not too worn.
I would like to use the block as it is, rather than going for a rebore and new set of pistons but don't want to lash out on new rings if they're not going to work.
Can anyone help?
