Okay so i recently had problems with my stock motor burning tons of oil and not making any power and so i did a compression test and cylinders 1 & 4 are pretty low, cylinder 1-4 was like this 60-170-170-80 So i added a tad bit of oil into the cylinders and the compression went up to 170ish so im leaning to get new rings.
NOW i have a built bottom end i can drop in but i bought 88.5mm wiseco pistons from a friend but didnt get any rings with them. does anyone know what kind of rings come witht the 88.5 wiseco pistons for the 420a? I emailed wiseco and tried calling them for a week now and cant seem to get through to them. IDK if its just me but i dont think they have good customer service at all if they cant reply back to emails or anything. Ive seen some wiseco rings on ebay but some said XD rings and some said XC rings...Now how do i tell the difference or know which ones to get?
Somebody would please help me out I need to hurry up and assemble this new bottom end so i can get this car moved and the last problem im having is finding the right rings.
 
So theres no other options besides just those 8850XX rings on that page? whats the difference between those and the other model rings like the XA, XC, XG, and XH?

Thanx 5150DSM so after talking with some people the XX rings are the ones that come with the pistons. The other style rings are just other options for different style rings. Thanks for the help!
