Hit a huge snag today with the rings that the store ordered for me....
All the parts stores are calling for Sealed Power E-229x rings for this engine, but obviously they are wrong.... UGH!!!!

Here are my rings that came out of the engine.....................
Here's what the parts store ordered and keeps saying I need............... (I call BS!)
(just opening up the box, and seeing the oiler ring... I can say "WRONG!"..........These new rings are much thicker and not even close to fitting the piston ring grooves.... The top and middle ring are also the same width, whereas the originals the top ring is less width than the middle ring...

These are the piston sets once again........ (just for reference)
Piston casting numbers on all the pistons are #10172839
Once again.... at a standstill ----------Back to hunting for parts again.....
WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!!!!
