    Default piston rings

    Trying to decide on which route I want to go on piston rings. Just a little about my build. I'm staying stock stroke, and bore, raising compression, doing some port work, and a cam.

    What did Yall use, or suggest? I'm looking at a set of Hastings moly rings and a set of perfect circle moly right now.

    It's a 95, so if I've read right, my top ring is 2.0mm, middle 1.5mm and oil ring is 4.0mm. Is that correct?

    Those are .030 over, my build is stock bore. But thanks, i'll look for some of these and weigh out the pros and cons. I don't plan on using nitrous, mainly because its a 6 speed and 10 bolt still. But once I get a bigger rear, its on like donkey Kong!

    It's all good. I don't know if I want/or need a hell fire ring, cause I'm not gonna make huge power, a simple moly ring will do I think.

    Mahle brand rings for factory pistons can be had for $60 or so I think. They are Mahle pistons, so why not get Mahle rings?

    41616CP is the part number : http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PCR-41616CP

    I used those in my mild H/C daily driver build. Ring sizes listed are correct.
