[Fot] Spitfire 1300 Piston Rings

[Paul Ricco]

I agree with Chuck on this. 

Someone should communicate with JE about how you are building the motor and how you will run the car. 

Their engineering/technical department will help with ring recommendations.  There knowledge and experience should be most helpful. 

We do this Wiseco every time we work on a piston design with them. It always turns out well.  

We defer to them on wrist pin recommendations also. We have found that they have learned a lot about this stuff over the years
