Quote: Well $1000 for rings is not anything new. In fact twice that is nothing new. These new tiny little rings get real expensive especially in big bores. I paid $1900 for the rings in the 99 Hemi I ran. Pistons were another $2600 but this is 4.700 bore stuff.
I'm glad for you Al... not me.. I wont spend that kind of money for a set of rings... OR a set of pistons.. and I have bought plenty of custom pistons.... a race set of rings is .043... I dont need the odd ball stuff
Its not so much the size of the ring, as the material. We run .043 top and second rings and a standard 3/16 oil ring. The top ring we use is a $100 a hole and the seconds are $50 a hole, so yep, that's $1200 for the two upper rings, then the oil rings are about $50 for all. Super hi tech N/A stuff can be twice that, regardless of land size.
And we re-ring it about every 50 runs

Monte.. like I said to Al.. I wont spend that kind of money... no need to for the junk I run... and 95% of the guys on here are the same
