Hello for a second time in one day,
Now I have a piston ring question. I ordered a set of standard size rings off of eBay. They come from XScycle out of canada. After receiving them I just did some more research and found a post where someone posted width discrepancies.

My issue is similar to that post above and that the new middle ring is about 0.6 mm thinner than the original middle ring. (Old ring ~3.6mm and new ring ~3.0) Does anyone know how much thinner the ring width can be?
Ring gap is still within spec according to an old clymer i have with the middle (i think) having a gap of .019” and the top (i think) having a clearance of .014”
Edit:
I just measured width of the old top ring and the (what I believe to be top) new top ring. Old one is 2.8mm new one is 2.7mm
Top ring gap: old gap is .017 new gap is .014
Bottom ring gap: new one was .019 old one... I broke it so idk
