5.0 piston ring size I ordered 'standard/stock rings" from autozone, but the rings I got were too thick (the bore size was fine). And I took them back to autozone where they said they have multiple thicknesses, I asked the guy what size he had given me before and he couldn't say ( shouldn't he have known!?) Anyway, anybody know the thickness of the rings I need for my COMPLETELY stock internals?

they probably gave you 5/64 rings, fit older 289/302/351s. yours could be 1/16 or metric. need to measure ring groves to be sure.
