Ordered a set of top/second 5/64 rings and they are too fat. Are these pistons a 1/16 or 3/32 top and second ring? There isn't much information out there on the rings. I can find anything on compression and weights but nothing on the ring types. Any assistance appreciated. chuck@tamrazs.com Thanks Moparts! Last edited by TamrazsParts; 01/30/16 01:42 AM.

TRW, as far as I know and remember, never varied from either 5/64,5/64, 3/16 or the narrower 1/16, 1/16, 3/16 on all the Mopar Hi Po V8 pistons. I have seen and used the 1/8 oil rings on a Hi Po 427 Ford motor, maybe even some Chevy may have used them also, maybe not IHTHs Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)
