[Healeys] Overdrive accumulator piston with rings

[jmsdarch at sbcglobal.net]

Hank,

 

I am referring to the steel rings. Checking the parts manual there are two rings on each piston. Each ring is a set, comprised of a wide ring with two thinner rings on the outside. Moss only sent one ring set. There should be two wide rings and four narrow rings to make up the required two ring sets.

 

Thanks,

John

John-if you are referring to the steel rings they are just stuck together from age-soak them in kerosene for awhile.  They are very delicate-don't pry them-a razor blade can also carefully separate them.  If you are referring to the O-rings the latest accumulator body only uses one o-ring.  Hank

I am replacing the accumulator housing, piston and rings. When I opened the piston box, there was only one wide ring with two narrow rings. Shouldn’t there be two wide rings and four narrow to make up two ring sets for the piston?
