As long as I know the right bore size, and the number of rings, and the thickness of each ring needed, any kit would work correct?

I've heard some of the guys talk about moly rings in the car sections. You might try the internal engine section, they are good with this stuff. It almost seems as though you gotta be a regular in there to get a response sometimes.

I would just call a ring manufactuer and tell them what you need, they should have all the data.
