    New piston rings Wiseco .020

    4 sets Wiseco .020 piston rings. I opened one set to check the end gaps, then a second set to confirm I ordered the wrong size. I needed .030 oversize. None have been installed on pistons.
    $70.00 shipped. paypal or money order.............SOLD

    Re: New piston rings Wiseco .020

    You got .30 pistons and got .20 rings? Same thing happened to me, you need .40 rings, they don't make .30. Luckily Simon had a set that I bought from him, took lots of filing, plus I used the "fish scale" method, to try get enough but not too much preload on the oil scrapers. .30 is a bad size, don't know why Wiseco can't supply the proper rings for that size piston.

    My car runs great, burns no oil, super quiet, put lots of miles on them since the install.

    I still have my .20 tucked away in my Wiseco box. The packages have all been opened, pretty sure they are stored together in one bag.

    Just checked, they're 3465XC, 88.0mm, so, no good I guess.

    I'm sure the .40 rings I bought from Simon were XX.

    I've never tried the XC....I was told by Wiseco that XX are the better rings.
