Has anyone every made there own piston rings?
What material did you use?
I have a Tecumseh engine Model OHH60 71126C E.
Tecumseh is out of business.
Something is not correct the book says Piston Ring set #40006 standard bore 2.625", $32.00 per set plus $3.20 sale tax. This is 1/4" too small for my 2.8" bore engine.
Piston Ring set #40007 is .010" over size.
Engine cylinder wall mics 2.801" diameter.
Piston ring end gap is .004" x piston diameter.
Hastings Manufacture makes piston rings of all sizes I can order rings by bore diameter and ring thickness no engine model number required. Rings are $5.80 and postage is $7.50. I have ordered the rings they will be here March 4.
I was just wondering the correct way to make home made rings and if anyone had done it?
