Rings Question....


Recommended Posts

i just pulled the top end on my banshee to put a Noss CoolHead on and while i was in there i pulled the jugs to see what the pistons/rings looked like. i pulled the rings off and they look good to me. is there anything specific to watch out for? and if i do by sum chance need new ones where can i buy just rings?? Thanks.

Take the pistons and rings to a machine shop, have the piston to bore clearance measures, and have the ring end gap measured.

 

Here's my take. If you're gonna get rings, it'll cost about 25 bucks per side. A complete piston kit with gaskets is 159 or so.

If they're in pretty good shape, and within spec...I'd hone the cylinders and put a fresh top end on.

 

I'm just not a big fan of replacing rings only...and if you do, you still should have the jugs honed...
