is it possible to buy a single ring? I need a sealed power .04 over top ring for a 302.

 

I think you can buy a single cylinder set. Twenty years ago or so I broke two rings on my first car engine overhaul and I wrote to the manufacturer (Hastings) and they very nicely mailed me a couple replacements, free.

 

Back in the day, before Federal Mogul bought out Sealed Power, you could get a single set or even individual rings. Don't know about now.
A "W" in front of the part number denotes a set for one hole. At least you have the most common bore size, so even a whole set won't break your piggy bank.

 

thanks guys, I stopped at napa today, they made a phone call, sounds like I can get just one cylinder.

 

I sold engine parts for years, and the weird thing is that a set for a 300 Ford, which uses the exact same ring set but minus two cylinders, costs more than a 302 set.

 

So maybe a local machine shop will have a couple left over rings from the last time they rebuilt a 300-6.

 

thanks guys I did get a single set .
