Help I need a ring set for 255 eng. at .100 over. Both Reds Headers, and Van Pelt are a "no go". I am now over 80 Yrs, and I have had this set of TRW 4 ring pistons that are fit up to good rods for over 60 yrs. Engine was run for one year. cold Idaho winter froze and broke the block. I then sold all I could sell, and kept the crank rods and pistons. I am going to put together a Flathead and would like to use these parts. I am unable to find a 4 Ring set to fit the pistons. Thanks for any help that I can get. I do not think Flatheads will ever die, and some of us old fools should be so lucky

and run so good. David
