Common questions
Will this piston ring fit my 1200cc Shovelhead engine?
Yes, if your 1200cc Shovelhead engine has a standard (STD) bore size. If your cylinders have been bored oversize, you will need a different ring set to ensure proper fit and function.
Is this a complete set of rings for one piston?
No, this is a single piston ring. A complete ring set typically includes multiple rings per piston (compression and oil rings). Please confirm the exact quantity and type needed for your specific build before ordering.
What is the benefit of a moly-enhanced compression ring?
Moly (molybdenum) facing on the compression ring helps reduce friction against the cylinder wall, improves heat transfer, and enhances durability, leading to better sealing and extended engine life.
