TooTallMike Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hi all, I've got some strange French-made Dodge piston rings here: There are 4 thin rings and a wavy sprung ring in each packet. There's also a hexagonal sprung spacer to keep them in shape in storage. I think these kits are designed to replace single piston rings. Label translation is: The new piston/cylinder sealing method Original Doublex scraper 82,55 dia. throat profile 4,75 type Dodge Adjusted ready for fitting 13 D.O. lower diagram trans.: sealing throat flats axial flats I have 5 of these packets marked as +0,20 and a sixth unmarked but which appears to be the same size as the others. Has anyone come across these before? - Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisg Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 It's an oil control ring the hexagon spring bit goes in the grove first to give more radial pressure. looks very much like the old cords style ring but i haven't seen one for 20 or so years so may be mistaken chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
