Hello everybody, recently i bought a set of piston rings from cb750supply.com for a 1976 cb750 f, as far as i knew the engine was fully stock, so i bought the standard size ones, when i got them i tried them on and the diameter was ok because they fitted perfectly BUT they weren't thick enough, it was a little space between the ring and the edge of the "canal" where the ring fits. So after seeing this issue i returned them with one of the old rings i had (which was thicker and fitted well), they received it and told me that my old ring was similar to the oversize ring (61.25 and 61.50), so they told me to measure my pistons to see which size i need it.
SO, my question is, is it possible that my pistons are oversize? because as i stated before, the rings they sent me fitted perfectly in diameter just weren't thick enough. I assume i would have another problem if i ask for the ones with the 61.25 specification or 61.50, because i assume the diameter of those ring would be bigger than my pistons. Or can somebody tell me if they could work?.. i cannot go and measure them because for the moment i'm out of town.
Just to be clear, the guys from cb750supply have been great with this situation and have responded all my emails throughout the process, but that question that i have is the only one that i havemt had an answer about.
Hope somebody can help me and i hope i was clear english is not my first language.
have a great night.
