dykes spacers

R. Thorne · 02-01-2011, 02:28 PM

The spacers I have are .048 thick and .155 radial thickness for a 5/64 groove with .178 groove depth pistons. As dykes rings are .170 radial thickness(overall) and .125 radial thickness at the .031 thickness this makes the dykes ring protrude from the ring land (i.e. no back clearance). Is this normal for dykes rings or are they designed for 0 back clearance like standard rings? Also, if these are the wrong spacer radial thickness, who sells ring spacers to convert to dykes rings or .043 ? Thanks, Ron.
