    Piston ring sizes

    by Sam400 » Wed Jul 29, 2020 12:34 am

    Hi does anyone have the oem piston ring thickness for an 08?
    Just trying to sort a piston/ ring mismatch and the info would be helpful.

    Thanks

    Hi Sam,
    Well I have seen written down that Honda has changed rings thickness several times.
    Rings have tended to get thinner to maintain a seal as power has increased.
    The 2006-2007 rings are 0.72mm
    The 2008-2009 rings are 0.85mm

    Are you using a factory or aftermarket piston.
    If you are using and aftermarket that has been around a while they may have stayed with the thinner ring.

    If you are using aftermarket piston then contact the maker.
    They probably based their piston on a particular year and should be able to tell you what oem rings fit.

    It starts,it runs,it gets to where all CRFs can get to without the valve or valve plate dramas
