74mm piston rings for 1300ccm PreA

[SplitPersonality]

Is there a source to buy new piston rings for my 1300ccm PreA engine?
74mm

Any leads appreciated. Thanks.

Not familiar with the early engines but only one I know , other brand that is 74 is a geo metro 3cyl, rring width probably all wrong.

The Metro rings are different thickness, and won't work in Porsche.

Metro has 1.20 x 1.50 x 2.80 thick rings.

If you are still running the chrome plated aluminum cylinders, I would be somewhat concerned about using the 3 piece type oil rings, which I believe the DEVES rings are. Conventional wisdom is that the thin steel tears up the chrome plated aluminum. I have no personal knowledge that that is correct. I believe the top two rings in the DEVES set are cast iron and should work fine. Don't know if there are any 74mm 5mm thick cast iron oil rings out there, so you may not have any other options, but I would recommend checking around. If you are running an iron cylinder or a iron sleeved cylinder, the DEVES rings should work great.
