New workbus
Hi guys
Picked up a 74 bay before Christmas and I'm loving it.
Got a adjustable front beam and spring plates.
Slammed it 5 inches around.... Used progressive shocks from a Harley rides really well.
But.....
The other day on my way home accelerator pedal broke and revved the motor causing the fan belt to fly off the crank. Didnt know until I got home. 1600
upright too!
No compression in 3 DAMIT!
Took the head off it's fine.
Ring has gone...
Question can I use a second hand set of rings of another std 1600 or do I need to replace the piston?
Help
Klaus

engines run fine for stockers , other option chuck a new set of rings in it , depends on piston condition , barrel cond
