These replacement ring sets by Hastings are the same as supplied in every new Harley-Davidson® motorcycle engine. The top ring is a barrel faced, moly filled design from which long life, proper lubrication & scuff free service can be expected. The 2nd ring is reverse torsion type; oil ring is the famous Hastings ‘Flex-Vent’ 3-piece design, which exerts uniform pressure on the cylinder wall while providing 200% more drainage capacity than conventional one-piece oil rings. Sold in sets for 2 pistons.
Wrist pins from tool steel are lighter and stronger than the stock wrist pins used by Harley®. We recommend using these in any performance application. Pin diameter recommendations for .791/.792” pins - use .085” wall pins in street engines with 3-1/2” to 3-5/8” bore; heavy-duty .140” wall in engines with 3-13/16”+ bore or smaller bore engines that see severe use. Teflon® buttons can be used instead of wrist pin spiral lock clips to eliminate any chance of the clips coming loose and causing damage. Buttons lengths are designed for use in Axtell pistons.
Wrist pin diameters have varied on H-D® engines over the years. .791” for Shovels & earlier EV XL’s, .792” for Ev Big Twins & late XL’s. Measure your stock ones if you’re unsure.
