Need a ring, I screwed up & broke one!
 My Eagle/SRP stroker kit came with Dana's Perfect Circle rings. For the first time in my life, I broke a 2nd compression ring during installation. They call it a "hooked groove" Grey Iron THG compression ring for the CP20 ring set. Size: 4.125 + .065 (=4.190) 1/16" thick, std tension. These were file fit, but, I don't have to have another file fit one... On the box is a # 315-0032.065. I can't seem to find any of my local parts stores, or machine shops that can get ring(s) for just one piston from Perfect Circle. Surely with all the Eagle/SRP kits out there, somebody can get one ring, or rings for just one hole. Oh, somebody please give me help!! I'd like to get this motor together & get it back in the T/A, it's been down for months!

I agree with your logic Hopefully someone who has broken a ring and had to buy a set can hook you up. Have you tried calling the customer service directly? Tell them what happened and try to say there was a flaw in the ring and you want a new one? That may help or offer to pay for a new single ring. They might just send you one.

I went to the Dana website, no phone #'s listed, only email.
I emailed them yesterday morning (5:00am), and so far, no reply.

Speed Pro rings ARE available in "single cylinder" packs. Usually, a "W" is prefixed to the set part number. Contact a Federal Mogul dealer and see what they can do for you. The one ring being replaced (ductile iron) should be completely compatible with the Perfect Circle set. The price will be significantly higher than 1/8 of a whole set.

I just checked we don't have any broken sets in Sealed Power. I have a set at home but there .035 over. Try calling Eagle.
