    Where to get piston rings i forgot the name of the company

    hey guys i remember awhile ago there was a company that came up a few times in the forum. they had good cheap small engine piston rings for like 2-3 dollars apiece. i tried searching i couldn't find them. if anyone remembers them i would appreciate it.i think the company started with cutting but im not sure. and if any one happens to know the size of a br550 piston ring or might have a service manual. i'll rep ya. thanks

    I'm a big fan of Laser sales. They have an outlet 15 minutes from me in Ontario so that helped get me hooked. Also no import duties to deal with. They market their stuff under Cutter's Choice I think but I've never used the cutters website. Their catalogue can be found at lasersales.org. They have all kinds of rings, pistons, cylinders etc.

    Good luck

    Here are some Stihl part numbers that may help;
    Piston: 4282 030 2003
    Ring: 4282 034 3000 (need two)
    Gasket set: 4282 007 1010
    You may want to change the seals, valves and bearings if the unit has alot of hours on it.

    Best wishes,
    Bob

    Hastings doesn't always have the size that a guy is looking for. There sure didn't have rings for my thin-ring West Bend 820 pistons...

    Out of curiosity, where did you get them from? Is anyone stocking thin-rings in bulk?

    I haven't found a source yet. The next step is to dig through Wiseco's catalog and find the right size or one very close and cut them to fit.

    so hastings you say. do you have a good source to buy these? you can't buy these from hastings directly can you. Whats wrong with cutters choice rings just because there cheap? i was thinking about going with caber but i need like 12 rings. The br550 has 15 hrs on it and some people think because it has valves you can run straight gas in them. it just appears to have hurt the rings. the valves look good. I can't wait to tear it apart completely.
