| Post subject: | Piston Rings |
Hi Guys just interested to find out if rings are easily available your side of the world. I was one afternoon away from completing the rebuild of my motor and managed to break the one oil ring - #$%&*&^* -!! But here in New Zealand not available nor in Australia. So Gowanloch Ducati in Sydney (quite a famous place to source old Ducati stuff for those who haven't heard about of them before) have had to order from Italy at $AUS 175.00 per set. Is going to take 2-3 weeks. How does that compare with the States or Europe? Cheers Clive |

Just bought rings here in the USA for my F1. They were in stock at BCM Ducati in New Hampshire and they cost $106 delivered to me in NY. |

Jon is that per set or for both? Does the F1 have 3 rings - 2 compression and 1 oil? There is a guy here who races an F1 and "i'm told" runs Nissan pistons in it. Have you ever heard of alternative pistons fitting 750 Ducatis before? Cheers Clive |

Yes the F1 has threee rings in a set. That was just for 1 set. Ducati gets big $$ for piston rings.... There are alternatives to Ducai pistons but I have never heard of a Nissan piston. If the dimensions are right then why not?? I can't imagine that they would be better than Pistal or some other real aftermarket high end pistons. Check out California cycle works online. |

Clive, I'm guessing you have fixed this prob but for others there are alternatives. Dodge Neon/Mitsubishi Eclipse rings are as cheap as (an you get 2 sets) for $93 US landed in NZ They are 88mm x 1.2 - same as Ducati - you have to get the grooves made deeper but overall its the cheaper option. Mine are awesome- most compression/ lowest oil comsumption I have had for 9 years ! Tony |
