I would have like to run that windage tray but I couldn't with my oil pan choice.

I wanted to run this Canton main support because it was cheap and you can buy the windage tray that bolts on for under $35 but then I read the instructions and the windage tray won't clear the stock pan. So I saved myself $150 and just bought the Milodon windage tray.

That's the one I have for the spare motor. Unfortunately the road race pan wont fit with a windage tray.

I started installing the pistons tonight and was having a tough time keeping the rings in my cheap adjustable ring compressor. Then it happened, while installing the third piston I broke the lip on the second compression ring. F___!!!!!! I'm usually pretty calm and wouldn't let something like this bother me but I haven't been feeling well the past couple days and this just pissed me off. My wife calmed me down and told me to just order new rings and a better ring compressor so I did. She said it must have been a sign to get different rings because I was complaining about the fit of the Mahle rings that came with the kit. I'm a lucky man.

I know total seal allows you to order just one piston ring. Call them, get a part number and see if you can modify/ refund your order.

I ordered Total Seal rings from Summit Racing already.

I know, Im saying keep them in the packaging. Call the manufacturer of the ring you broke, get a part number for one, order it for $20 and return the full set you just ordered.

Returning with summit is easy and they will even pay for shipping. They even include a return shipping label on the receipt now I think.

Or waste $200 and 7 rings if that makes you happy??

Wtf? The rings set are like $20 and its always nice to have some rings on the shelf. Being honest and accepting responsibility is good too.

I already file fit the Mahle rings so I wouldn't be able to return them anyways. The Total Seal CR rings were only $115 from Summit. I really want to gapless ring set but the only one they have with the 3mm oil rings are $300 and I'm not going to spend that much.
