But correct me if I'm wrong; I thought dykes were quite expensive?
Would rings+ spacers+ machining cost more than a set of dykes?
Far more. And more than his pistons are worth, as he said. The only place I'd trust to do the machine work is Rebco, and I'm pretty sure it would be very expensive. Ring groove tolerances are held far closer than 99.9999999% of shops can measure, below 0.0000".

Dykes rings are not that expensive, they're just relatively outdated.
