The manufacturer of your pistons should have a ring set available,or the company that does.

I agree with Brian. Whether it's a 5/64 or 1/16 ring they should be readily available. It's a very popular bore size.

the rings that cam with the pistons are cast, i just decided 2 go with plazma molly but the top rings not steel they said its a strong medal that starts with a D, im a little about my original block sealing all i did was break the glaze because its allready 60 over, ive read that steel rings seal better in my situation, my fingers are crossed!!!

Are you thinking of a ductile iron ring?

BINGO!!!!!! thats it!! they said its alot stronger than cast but not as strong as steel and it should seal up fine after 50 miles or so

Yes ductile iron is a good ring but that's not what will necessarily make it seat in 50 miles or so. If it's a moly coated ring with the right wall finish then yes but otherwise there's no gaurantee it'll seat that quickly.

Do you need a full set or just the top rings?
