Hi all!
I have a 1970 Fiat 850 sports coupe that I have been attempting to rebuild in the last year. This is my first rebuild, so its quite the learning process! I had my engine resleeved/bored/honed to +1.0mm oversize (to make it 66mm) to fit the pistons/ring set that I had purchased (brand was kolbenschmidt.) This was all well and good, the pistons fit like a glove, so I compressed the piston rings, and slotted them into the cylinders assuming that the rings would have previously been cut to roughly the right size for the cylinder. You know what they say about assuming, so I broke two rings because the rings were too tight. So now I need new rings, but the piston/ring set that I purchased is not a standard size, and I cannot find the correct sized rings anywhere.
Does anyone have any idea at all about where you could purchase 65 +1.0mm rings for a 903cc 100 GBC.000 engine?
Cheers for looking
