Will I have a problem getting rings for a .040 over 454 BBC? Looking for regular file fit plasma moly speed pros. Std tension, std widths.
Having custom pistons made and want to make sure I can get rings!
Thanks in advance..

I found a 4.298 speed pro ring (1/16-1/16-3/16). I should be able to file fit this to my 4.290 bore?

Doug,
If you are talking about 5/64 5/64 3/16 as a standard width, they are available from all of the ring manufacturers in .040 and .045
as far as I know. I know for sure that Hastings makes a set of Moly Rings in .040, I just put a set in an engine. If you need 1/16 1/16 3/16 I am sure they are also available. If you cant find them, let me know and I will get you the part numbers.
Actually:
Speed Pro R9590.045 5/64 5/64 3/16
Speed Pro R9904.040 1/16 1/16 3/16
I am pretty sure Hastings has a .045 1/16 set up but I dont have a catalog here at home.

Thanks a lot for the help Bill.
I meant the 1/16-1/16-3/16.

Doug,
I will look in the AM and see if Hastings has a file fit .045 set. I havn't been on the web much at work due to my very slow dial up connection there.

Hi Doug,
If you deal with Engine Tech in Tx they show a set
R9344 .005/.0035/.0045/.0065
If not email me, I can have them dropped to you ;)
