Black piston ring (single)

(1/2) > >>

Sprocket:
Any chance someone has a single (new) black piston ring i could buy? I have a cruzinimage standard size piston set, all went together ok but i ham-fistedly broke a black one when my feeler gauge slipped.  :(

Nurse Julie:
Unfortunately can't help you with the piston ring. I'm still trying to work out what you were doing with the feeler gauge near the piston ring once fitted 🤔🤔🤔

Bryanj:
What size engine is it for, not that i got any but might get you more help.

Whatever you do, don't email Cruzinimage asking for rings. I did just that about 12 months ago. I didn't get a reply and they blacklisted me on eBay, people asking questions are troublemakers. So now if I want to buy off them I have to order direct from their own website. Not completely bad as their website is cheaper than eBay. They are a really strange bunch of people. And while were at it, don't buy anything off them that has rubber components or gaskets, they are total shite.

They weren't 'fitted' at that point. Being very worried about splitting a ring, I was being really careful and used two to cover each of the ends of the ring as it went over the top gap, so it couldn't drop in where I didn't want it. (bit like this:
Then it slipped...
