Long story short,I'm short a second ring but have extra top rings on a total seal file fit sets.Can I use a top ring for the second ring on one cylilinder? to me they look the same and are the same size but different material.I hate to have to buy another set if I really don't have to. Don't do it! The second ring is a scraper ring that does more to control oil than seal compression. It will likely burn oil like crazy if you do.

Other than the ring material I can't see a difference between the two in this set. Readers on and holding them up to a light. the bevel must be microscopic. the bevel is to the inside. look to see if the rings have a pip mark.

DO NOT interchange rings as their cross sectional shape, as well as the tensions, gaps, coatings and OD shapes are different. Rings are a science.
I currently work for a major global piston ring manufacturer.

I might have some extras. I'll look when I get home
Never mind, they are the -35 part number, sorry.

The 4.355 bore size file to fit rings may fit perfectly in the 4.360 I wouldn't hesitate to try them to see if they will fit with little or no grinding on the ends to make them fit in the 4.360 bore OP, use a bright light under the ring to see if any light shows between the ring and the cylinder wall with the ring squared up in the bore if is does show light don't use it
