Broke an Oil Ring Installing

[tgarnoldo]

I broke an oil ring installing it on the piston. Is there any where I could get a single piston set of rings. I have the old rings and could use them in a pinch. Any thoughts? BTW It is for a 3.2l Carrera motor.


Thanks,

Who did you buy the rings from?

Most places I know will not break up a set of rings to sell one.

Thanks for your reply, I found the same issue. I spoke with my machinist and was told that intalling one old oil ring wouldn't be a problem, so I picked my best one and moved on...

Thanks,

AFJuvat... I agree fully with your closing...

Yikes, your machinist was kidding right? Cutting corners like this on a 911 engine rebuild? I don't think any of the machine shops I know of would recommend using an old, used part in a $8K rebuild - it's just not worth it, and it's just not done.

I think we can get you a single set of rings if you need them...

I had this same problem a few weeks ago and was able to buy one set of rings from ProTechnik in Houston.

Wayne, I would imagine this happens often enough to warrant selling individual sets of rings.

Same thing just happened to me here!

I called and the customer service guy at Pelican Parts and they said they don’t break up sets.

Does anyone else know where I might be able to get 1 set of GOETZE rings (95mm-1.5 X 1.75 X 4.0mm), for a '78SC?

Yes, we can sell individual rings, give Tom a call at 1-888-280-7799x221 and he can special order these for you. I'm having Eugene add these to the catalog too...
