Prices on piston rings....Jeez!?!?!?!?!?!?!

They are sold here for $72.34..... .....To me that's kind of ridiculous. I don't think I've ever paid more than $30.00 for a set of rings and that was for a big V-8. I would think that these in this little 4 cylinder wouldn't be over $14-$15.00???

Does ANYONE here have a low cost set for sale or know where I can pick up a set at a reasonable price?

First, see if you can find one of the old-time family run automotive machine shops. When we lived in California there was one run by a couple of brothers who seemed to know every part in every engine ever made, and knew where to get them. Suprisingly enough, they were often actually cheaper than the parts houses.

Another place to try is an engine rebuilder/supply house. I haven't needed one since we've lived in Colorado, so can't give you a name, but in the past I've gotten parts for old Willys (continental) engines off the shelf.

Good luck,

Keith

I'll tell you what, if I can't find them I'll see if I can match some up with an automotive piston ring set.

You know, as with allot of things mechanical I bet there are many interchangable parts out there that we could substitute in for the high priced parts we are stuck to choose from.

Sorry to hear of that, guess I shouldn't feel too too bad about those prices. OUCH!

Is the engine in the 450 similar to any truck engines? Maybe parts will interchange?
