Question re pistons and rings . Little help please .

[mcdammitt]

Can I run a A piston in a C cylinder? Also what about  installing another set of rings in a Chrome cylinder? I did it years ago in a T and had no problem. But no knowing about the A to C issue

Deves has the rings in stock

 Hey Mac , the first thing the big boys are gonna say is scrap those chrome bores . Probably good advice .

What Dusty said.
They can be sleeved to fit your pistons for reasonable money.

Know someone that provides the sleeve service?

I've used these guys before and they do an excellent job. But I think the gilardoni kits may be as costs effective if you need pistons , rings , pins and clips

I don't think you can run an A piston in a C cylinder, the clearance to the cylinder wall will be wrong. For my Cal II, the 3 classes, A, B,and C represent size ranges for the original pistons, maybe because having a large production run while holding tolerances to a single small number cost too much in tooling and machining, so they allowed the size to vary as forging tools wore, and split the sizes into ranges that they machined the cylinders to.
