Title: wiseco piston rings
Post by: Gil Gallad on March 15, 2021, 06:54:14 PM
i bought a pair of wiseco gt250 pistons ages ago, but unfortunately they came without rings. standard size [54mm], but the ring lands are exceedingly thin. i tried a 23 thou feeler gauge and that just fits. about 0.58mm in metric. after spending a long time looking through the wiseco catalogue i can't find the rings anywhere. fleabay has the piston kits for 174 ps pistons, but not the rings on their own. any ideas on who could supply me 2 sets please?  :cheesy:
cheers, gil.

174PS pistons use 2126CD rings

thanks for that, you're a diamond  :cheesy:
i did buy another set, supposedly for a gt250 and they've got a dykes top ring. again unfortunately there was only one set with them. stupid imperial size as well - +40 thou. they are marked 293 p4. so i looked them up and apparently they are for a sachs 125 single. obviously a gt250 is 2 x 125 cylinders, so with a rebore they would fit. suppose it's my fault for splashing out £20 - about $14 for 2 pairs of wiseco pistons and thinking i'd got a bargain. think i'll stick to cruzin image from now on  :cool:
cheers, gil.
