I'm having a bit of a dilemma. I have my 6 bolt motor that I am rebuilding 020 over with stock oversized pistons. One of the #2 piston rings broke so I wen't searching for a set. I ended up finding a Beck/Arnley set with part number 013-394820. The thing is, they don't have the same cut-away edge as the rings that I have. In the manual, this is the diagram.

The #2 ring I have has the groove directly diagonal from where it is in the picture. The number one rings don't even have a groove..Every time I search this part number, it says these rings are correct for turbo and non turbo models..

So can I use them?! If so, should I use all of these ones instead of the new ones I have? could I just use this single #2 ring and leave everything else how it is with the normal new rings?

Just get a set of the NPR rings for your application.

All the stock rod builds I have done, and the outer grooved #2 ring.

You should have a Moly top (silver face) and a napier 2nd ring.
