Piston rings

Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2017 3:09 pm
Hi all I'm new to this and new to restoring a alsport Steen. Had to buy a new jug and piston as the original was siezed up. The jug and piston I got is bored .30 over. I can't seem to find rings for it. Can anyone help me.

Go to Strictly Hodaka.Com and they can help you. They have lots of Hodaka parts.

And another possibility is Hodaka-Parts.com and Dan may have something!

Also post to Bruce Young here on this forum as Bruce knows of other people who have stockpiled supplies!

And finally, check with Rich, racerclam here on the forum for both piston & rings and machining if needed! :ugeek: Victor

I did not mention the other parts people out of respect and consideration for Mr. Paul Stannard. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe he has started and maintained this forum for some time now. I am grateful to him for this forum. I get a lot of satisfaction, enjoyment and pleasure from this forum. He deserves to get the parts recommendations that come from here I think. That is my opinion and I know that what I think matters little. Everyone is free to do what they want. Thanks Gentlemen

I too needed a set of rings for a Steen motor. Paul did not have them in stock, so he gets me a list of other people and the phone and says call them. He went out of his way to make sure I got what I needed. And I had to call 3 before I found what I needed. A quick call or email will get you the info you need.

The forum was turned over to the Hodaka Club earlier this year. My understanding is that Paul no longer owns the forum.

I mentioned the other possible suppliers because Paul has been short of supply on rings & Pistons, especially to certain models. It is becoming more of a challenge to find parts and it’s not a matter of simply checking with Strictly Hodaka any longer. People need to know where else they can buy possible parts. No intent to shun or disrespect one and support another in Paul’s place. It’s just getting info out. We have to help everyone with every resource available. :ugeek: Victor
