What rings is everyone using for the TSP. 482 build? Is there a "standard" ring that most are using or is all dependent on 7 other factors that I need to figure out? LOL Part numbers would be very helpful.
You said TSP 482. On my 470, Jim listed the rings as Plasma Moly Premium Piston Ring Set, for 1/16 1/16/3/16 ring package, 4.350 bore.
OK, the really great thing is the the 4.350 bore is a .030 over Chrysler 440, so rings are easy to get and cheaper because they aren't Buick only.
Here's a thread about piston rings, https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/questions-about-piston-rings.320515/#post-2673910 https://www.v8buick.com/index.php?threads/cast-or-chrome-molly-rings.171150/#post-1351125
Granted my 482 isn't built yet, but the quote I have from JW shows this: "Hastings racing rings for 4.350 bore- Non file fit, Plasma Moly top ring, Cast Iron second and flex-vent oil- for street and race 1/16 comp and 3/16 oil
This is the ring set I have used for years... https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hsn-2m5528030/make/chrysler Looks like I need to update my pricing.. JW
