You already have the size of them, just measure the grove with. The rest is simple. They are from a 1166 kit if they have a 17mm wrist pin or from a 1170 kit if they have a 18mm wrist pin.

thats the big problem im having otakar , the oil rings are an usuall size and no one this side of the pond can get any , someone said they were wiseco pistons when i sent them to him , he ordered a set of rings and the top two fitted perfect , i gapped them correctly and put the motor together , man it smoked like a two stroke and filled my garage in a couple of seconds .
i stripped the head off and all 4 pistons had oil on the tops , id done a comp test before i fired it up and it had good readings on all 4.
i took the oil rings off and measured them against the old set , the new ones had a different radial size and were slightly thinner , i never measured them before i built it up as i've never had any prob with oil rings before. :blink: you live and you learn i suppose .
anyway , no one can find me any rings unless i can identify the pistons , my only choice seems to be , have a set made , i would reuse the originals but it seems i threw two away when i cleaned up so im up the creek without a paddle .

Just reuse the spacer rings from the old oil rings and you should be fine. What is the grove size of the oil rings?

Measure them and call Hastings. I got rings for them for an old 1166 Wiseco piston kit a year ago. Nobody else had any as the 1166 KZ kit has been discontinued.
