Snowfire piston rings
Snowfire piston rings
I recently had my 340 cylinders nickasel'd and I cannot find a piston kit with chrome rings. Anyone have any ideas

As an FYI....the set i got the arrow on top of the piston was pointed the wrong way. That was 10 years ago or so.

Did you get chrome rings? If so where?
And the arrow on these S.P.I pistons the arrow is pointing the right way. The rings don't pass over any ports. But they came with rings for a chrome cylinder. Soni believe there Cast iron rings, witch is not compatible with nickasel cylinders

Re: Snowfire piston rings
Yes they are cast rings. At the time I think there was a batch of pistons that had the ring pins 180 out. We had photos of the same part number piston with pins in two different locations. Yours may be correct.

Re: Snowfire piston rings
So can I run my cast rings in my nickasel cylinders
I read from a mellenium article years ago that you can run any ring with nickasel cylinders
