In need of some new rings for a Super Mini, NOS ones seem to be in short supply.
Does anyone know the sizing for Caber Rings? Are the dimensions listed the bore size?
Thanks in advance!

Rings have arrived from Greece. They are not model specific and un-gapped.
The 4th-5th edition service manuals do not list an end-gap specification for the Super EZ/Mini.
Anyone have access to the 6th edition service manual to check if a spec is listed for this model ?
Recommendations for what the end-gap should be ? I've some grinding to do...
Thanks

If no one can get that spec then , I think I have a set of NOS rings. If I can find them I’ll put one on a Super Mini cylinder and put some feeler gauges in.

The original rings are about .080", so I'm guessing the recommended spec is .070-.080" with a max allowed of .085" as in other models. I had a chance to get a NOS piston/rings off Ebay but seller never bothered to return my inquiries about shipping to Canada. |

What are the dimensions of the rings? I know the bore is 1 9/16", but what is the groove size or ring thickness? I'm trying not to spend almost the same amount of money for rings as for an aftermarket piston and cylinder. Seems all the places where I've found rings for my saw they want too much money. So please, if any of y'all have the ring size let me know.

Looks like I did not respond to this line I said so would. Sorry!! No worries! The fitted Caber rings are working well, with minimal runtime not even broke in yet, putting out 165 psi on a trusted gauge. |
