I'm trying to order just new rings, I can't find out what size the stock pistons take. I asked ford, they don't know,Summit, don't know, some racing shops, don't know, I'm ready to just get pistons and rings just so i know I got the right size! And of course i know 4.000 but the thickness of the rings is the ???? thanks
