.100” Over Piston Rings
 

Hastings no longer makes the .100 over piston rings for the 8BA so I could use some help sourcing a set. I know that it “might be possible” to use .125 rings and file the gaps but I think that is out of my skill set, even if it was possible.

I could never figger out why a person would bore ther block out to .100", when .125" offers so many options. Think first!!!!!

Block was bored .100 40 years before I got my hands on it and there is no way in h**l I’m going to bore it out and buy new pistons because of piston rings

check with Mac Vanpelt

Re: .100” Over Piston Rings
 

.100 rings are available do some research their not impossible to find.

Kurt, I checked with Mac yesterday, that’s when I found out that Hastings had discontinued them, he was not able to suggest an alternative.

Ronnie, I am doing research, this thread is a part of it. I don’t want to be banging my head against a brick wall if somebody more experienced than me has the answer. I learn from mistakes, I prefer it to be someone else’s mistakes however.

Thank you Bob, they’re (EGGE) is closed now but I will call them in the AM.

Re: .100” Over Piston Rings
 

Egge definitely offers .100 over replacement pistons if anyone can get rings its certainly Egge to go along with the pistons so they should be able to help you out.

I just thought you'd have a better selection of better rings. The old design didn't last long, maybe 30/75 K miles. Just trying to keep up with Kubota. My latest engine has 70 year ol pistons and rings. tho

I just built an engine .100 over. I got Grant rings from Red's Headers. Those are cast iron all the way. I broke one and Grant didn't want to help me. I called up Egge and they were very helpful and got me what I needed. If I could do it over, I would use Egge for the entire ring set.
