Who sells rings for stock pistons?
I am about to take my short block to the machine shop that I use to have the rod journal re-sized for ARP rod bolts and to take the balence shafts out. Now here is my delima. The guys at my machine shop suggested that I do all new bearings, blueprint-balance, rings and lightly hone the bores. Who besides Mitsu sells rings that will work with the stock pistons? I considered doing the full forged rods and pistons at the same time, but he said that for the HP I am looking for, 400-500 at the crank, that there really is not much of a reason too. It would not hurt, but that it is not needed. So, do the rings for a DSM piston work, or does the 4G63 in the Evo have a different ring set. By the way, it is an Evo 5 short block that I am building but that should not matter as it is the same as the 8 exept for the water pump. Anyway, do you think that the full balence, bearings and rings are necessary, and what rings fit?
