I need a set of rings for 86.5mm 8.5:1 cp pistons and I can't for gods sake find them! The CP-CARILLO website says you can't use any other rings other than cp piston rings. Now, idk if that's a marketing strategy or if there's a technical reason, but either way...I can't find the damned things! The only cp rings I've found specifically state that it's for a different c:r piston part number from what I need.

SR20DET
86.5mm bore +0.2in/+0.5mm
8.5:1 ratio

Haaaalp! Please and thank you.

Have you tried contacting a authorized retailer or them directly?

I've emailed a few. Frsport being one, even though my listed on the website. I'm assuming the weekend isn't going to net me a reply. So I figured while I wait, I'll see if anyone else knew from a personal experience lol. Ugh.

Email cp. they will set you up.

I have purchased rings from them before. It's simple.

I called cp up and they help me out with those exact size rings. If they say we don't sell to public just cry a little and, you cant find any one who will sell them to you. i did that and it payed off.

Thanks man, that's what I ended up doing. They were very professional and courteous to my issue. They had no problem selling it as retail. Maybe policy change?

Oh dammit. I already called cp and ordered through them. Pricing seems a bit heftier through them, that's for sure. Maybe it was the $30 shipping lol! .4 lbs package with $30 shipping. Man.

Do they? I couldn't find the ones I needed.

It's probably not something you will find on their website just call them and tell them you need a set and they will sell them to you.
