GS sorry typo.
I know your SG is special just not that special.

Like photoshop but with welding? ;^)
they had a frontside pic that matched the one you show @GLJ

interesting When last had Mr bore do a bunch of jugs for Cruzin pistons he said "I got tired of measuring pistons that were all EXACTLY the same size".

Who is they?
That pic came from a post from a day or so ago.

The guy at the shop did the finish sizing today, when I got there he handed me the micrometer and I got the same answers he did. Not concerned with this, he thought maybe they were from 2 different runs.

Still looking for any insight on piston rings, not putting it together with gaps like that.

get in touch with cruzin?
Might check with hoos, but don't know if his JE rings will match the cruzin pistons.

Got a response from cruzin and can't help.

Been looking at Summit Racing and have found sets with 1st and 2nd rings that have the bore I want and the correct axial thickness. No luck on the oil rings but the ones I have could be used.

gggGary, have you used pistons from cruzin? If so what did the ring end gaps come in at?

 

[dps650rider]

Talked to Total Seal and ordered some slightly larger compression rings so I can set the end gaps to spec.
