Topic: Broke piston Oil Ring during installation :( ...what to do?

[cb350f_dave]

Help I broke the oil ring when i was installing it on the piston.
I did not know that is was so fragile. I'm kinda stuck now and
do not know what to do. The ring is a .75 oil ring and I have no idea
where I can get either another ring or another set, as this set came
with the pistons. There is a "set" for sale on Ebay, but they are from
Singapore and I really don't trust ordering stuff from that far away.
If anyone may for some strange reason have a spare .75 oil ring laying
around I would gladly buy it off you.
Thanks, any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Seriously bummed 

Yezin, any advise?

David Silvers...no .75 and I don't know what cms is?

.75 over is tough to find, unless it matches a 400 ring. You can grind a bit of  end gap I would think.

Maybe someone knows more about the 350/400 bore sizes will tell you.

I would also suggest this guy- e-mail him and see what he knows.

The xr 80 has pretty smilar sized bores and I used an identical wrist pin from one in my 350, and lots of stuff is the same for different models.

Maybe Hondaman will show up..

Thank you kghost...parts ordered

Dave,

That's who I bought them from originally.  I might even have a spare oil ring, but it looks like you are set.

The shipping is really rather speedy....I'd guess you'll have it in a week.
