Thanks guys!
Any Ideas where I can get the rings for these? The links by 4thekz1000 above seem to be sources overseas for Retailers.

That was the best I could do looking around.....

On rings.....have to know what the piston / item is to get rings for it. I would hate to spend over $100 for the wrong rings. This one could be a bitch..... :(

Did you ever tell us the bore? Is it stock 1015cc or 1075cc? Maybe 1045cc?
Just measure the thickness of the top and middle rings.
Probally the same as Wiseco or MTC. 1 ring is cast iron, other one is chromed on the edge.
Oil scrapers are all the same.
Plus Hastings makes custom rings too.

Start measuring! Go buy a cheap Harbor Frieght digital venier caliper.
