Dowmetal pistons rings

[jruff]

Does anyone know where I can get rings made for Dowmetal pistons?

If you haven't called Hastings yet, I'd give them a call.

The rings are 1/16 width, the same size as later K model and mid '50s up 45 type. Not unique. Remember those Dow metal pistons use huge clearance or they can seize.

IMG_0769.JPGThanks for the replies. Robbie I have the clearance for the Dow pistons somewhere it's .014 or .016. All three oil rings are different, I'm not sure what year the WL piston is. It was in my 49 WR with WL cylinders. Right to left Dow oil ring groove .127 Center KR oil groove .156 Left did not measure but it is smaller then the K. Top two rings are the same size
