LB7: Piston Rings?

[770JOHNNYW]

What are all you guys running twins with built motors using for piston rings? Im running stock cut and coated lb7s Thanks:thumb:

 

[Trippin]

No better than a stock ring for stock pistons. It is a steel ring with a chrome face. I've got em in stock if you need some.

 

[770JOHNNYW]

I used a set of perfect circle rings with my build.part # 41909

 

[770JOHNNYW]

Thats exactly what i ordered today gm rings were 83.00 per hole:bs: Good to know somone else is running them:thumb:

Please tell me that a set of Perfect Circle rings cost less than the $518 I just found, because this is getting ridiculous....

 

[770JOHNNYW]

No!!! I think i got mine for 450 or somthing....which is still a lot compared to a big block chevy:rofl: right at 700.00 from gm!

 

[emiller3]

I paid $398 and thought that was to much.

What are they setting up with for end gaps? That is one of the biggest issues I've seen with different brands.

I would love to run GM rings but at 100.00 a hole that is just plain rediculous
