Any help?

That's what I thought. But I ordered a set of rings for this from Dennis Kirk and the oil ring was wrong. It was WAY to thin and would not seal. The top two compression rings seemed to be OK though. :wondering

I say Wiesco too. Did the oil ring come in 3 pieces like the old one that is one there now?

Actually in the pic, that is the new oil ring. The old one is a different style, but it is a 3 piece.

I ended up reusing the old oil ring and it runs fine, with no smoke. But, you should have seen this thing smoke with the wrong oil ring. It sure didn't take long to fill up the shop!

Hopefully, this will work for a while.

Sure would be nice to know if I have the correct rings.

Did you get oversized rings or stock size?

.020 over

Are we safe to say that this piston is a Wiseco for sure?

Yes, thats what the little oval around the w on the bottom signifies. Its their trademark.

maybe the wrong oil ring was sent to you in the kit you bought. I have purchased things in the past that has some of the correct parts and some incorrect in the same box??

Could happen
