I have a short block that I need to do something with.
There's no ridge on the cylinders at all so I thought I could get away with just throwing a head on it.
But when I pulled the pistons to look at the rings,.. there were no rings, ha.
I'm wondering if someone has a set of rings sitting around that they will never use.
If not then I'll buy some new ones,.. but thought I'd help someone clean the shelves.

Just found the box of rings and they are 0,50 9(36.05)

I think they are over sized since I was rebuilding my Golf when I ordered them.

I'm sorry I bought a set of standard grants. Forgot to update the thread.
Too bad I was in such a hurry. I was sure someone had some NOS sitting on their shelf.
I am taking the guts out of one block (cracked) and putting them into another here this summer.
Don't know what size they are so I might be getting back to you.
Hard for me to tell by the numbers you listed exactly what size yours are. Either .50 over or standard.
