    I have a 40 ford flathead with original bore of 3 1/16. We are doing .80 over for a total of 3.142. I have a 4 ring piston by egge being used with 2 tip ring groove depth of .160 and the 2 bottom grooves of the piston with a depth of .215.

    The oil rings are 5/32 that I need and compression rings are 3/32. I found a new old stock set of 3 1/16 .80 5/32 oil rings (pic attached) so I think im good on that and now just searching for the compression rings. I don't know technicals of engines but if anyone can help me source them or has them I'll buy them asap.

    I have called Egge, hastings, grant, HH flatheads etc and everyone's on back order or out of them.

    Pic of piston attached also please let me know my number is 3109270020 for text or calling if you have. The blocks in the shop on stand still until I locate.

    Thank you

    Blake

    You could try Michael at 3rd Gen Auto or Fred at South Side Obsolete. Possibly Van Pelt.

    The ones on the site for 4 ring piston .80 over I believe are for 3 3/16 based on the measurements. I need 2 x 3/32 compression rings and 2 x 5/32 oil rings. I did have someone at reds reach out on Facebook and say he thinks he has a set but won't know until Monday so I'm keeping my fingers gers crossed!!!
     
  7. @Blake84 Hi, I checked with Hastings and we can supply you the +.080" ring set set from them if you still need. Just let us know.
