- Thu Mar 25, 2010 2:21 am #183521 are all d series piston rings the same
i need to get some rings for my pm3's and i wanna know if i can just order z6 rings or should i get the d15b7 rings?
majestic honda has diffrent part number for the two but every other site i have tried they are the same :? :?
only reason i ask is its cheaper to get rings and bearings for the z6 then just getting bearings and buying rings seperatly :thumb:

d16 crankshafts have bigger rod and main journals than d15 crank
z6 and b7 use the same piston rings, but different bearings

wait!
pm3 pistons are WAY to tall for a d16 block.
just get some d16 pistons.
this is where i have gotten parts for several rebuilds:
