Tonight i got all of the stuff for my motor and i was putting on the rings i got to the last one and I snapped it in two, it snagged on the piston and as i pulled it down it broke. Does anyone know if o Rileys sells .30 over rings? please tell me they do. I need to know asap. Also autozone is out of the question 30 minutes away and i have to work tomorrow

Why not just order another one from where you got the last set? Are you in some sort of big rush? You may just have to cab it for tomorrow.

Too bad your in a hurry for it or I could probably help you out. I was building my new 306 last week and my ring compressor let go just as the last piston was going in and killed the middle ring. I bought a complete new set from the speedshop to get the one ring.
