23hp vanguard ring/piston specs? "Custom Rings"
Well I got lucky and the 38ci short block I just received is only going to need honed. I am planning on having Total Seal make me a gapless top ring and standard second compression ring and wondering if you guys knew the standard ring specs or piston specs for the ring grooves.
Here is what I came up with from measuring: Piston ring groove 1.20mm thick Piston ring thickness 1.06mm Piston groove depth 2.90mm Ring depth 2.82mm These numbers sound right to you guys? Didn't know if there was a link somewhere that listed the factory specs on the rings. Thanks Dan |

Re: 23hp vanguard ring/piston specs? "Custom Rings"
Incase someone else ever wonders I was able to modify my calipers to measure the depth of the rings and used a feller gauge to get more accurate measurements.
Groove 1 Thickness .048 Groove 1 Depth .125 Groove 2 Thickness .047 Groove 2 Depth .140 Total Seal used the same rings for both grooves I can't remember what they said for thickness but I know they are sending me rings for a 2.972 bore and .122 Deep |

What are you going to use this motor for?
Sounds interesting along with your other posts. |

This motor will probably replace the vanguard currently on my mud boat.

Re: 23hp vanguard ring/piston specs? "Custom Rings"
So after getting my total seal rings in ive decided they are a total waste of money for what they are. So the gapless top ring is just a cast ring with a raised groove around the inside of the ring and the second thin metal ring is the same size or close to the thin metal ring on the 3 peice oil ring set. So instead of spending 120 bucks for a set of rings( that was only top and second ring. Gapless top standard second) you could probably just buy one 3 peice oil ring and use the 2 thin metal rings to place 180 degrees under your top compression ring. Of course you would have to sand/mill the top compression ring down to make up for the added thickness of the oil ring.
Just thought id let you guys know. |
