[Shop-talk] 2 stroke Piston Rings

[Jack Brooks]

The RC plane guys use Frank Bowman.  His info follows.  BTW - We do convert
weed wackers and other small engines to use on larger RC planes.

I've had a few guys on RCG asking me about where to get rings for their
engines. Here is the gent who I've purchased from in the past. He is very
responsive, quick to ship, and at a decent price. He has rings for most
engines. Email him and you can get a pricing and list of available rings.

"Along with my new ring, Mr. Bowman included a listing of engines he makes
rings for. The number and variety of engines in the listing is astounding.
Mr. Bowman also includes a short paragraph on the care and feeding of new
piston rings. He manufactures repro and current piston rings for our
modeling needs. He can make standaed standard and Dykes type rings. If he
doesn't have the ring you need in stock, you send the piston and cylinder
and he will make the ring. Prices are $7.50 up to $9.50. His work is of the
finest quality. He can be reached 6PM to 9PM Mountain Standard Time
weekdays."



To quote Frank:



"Quality at a fair honest price. Making a good ring is a Skill. Making a
fine ring is an Art."

OK, when did it get so hard to buy 2 stroke piston rings?



I have a leaf blower that I need one ring for.  I can't find any place on

the web that will let me buy these rings by measurements.  (I have all the

measurements already.)



Does anyone have a source for piston rings for small motors?  (cyc=31.81mm

  bore=31.87mm  Ring thinkness=1.49mm  Ring ID=30mm Ring OD=32.86mm)



Thanks in advance.
