Piston rings

I need to buy the set of piston rings for all four cilynders of my XJ 400.
The piston diameter is 51mm it has two compression and one oiler( at list that is how we named)
For all of your help
THANKS

 

Igor, are you looking for somewhere to buy the rings?

 

That is the idea, here I couldn´t finde it, so if someone can help me buying the rings, that would be fantastic.

 

PM CHACAL the parts guy.

 

Total Seal makes a lot of rings and lists them by bore diameter here: http://www.totalseal.com/SearchByBore.aspx

However, it looks like the closest they have is for a 52.98mm diameter bore. Next size down is 47.49mm.

Online, though, I found a site saying that the nominal bore size for the XJ400 is 53.6mm, so this ring set might work: http://www.totalseal.com/PartDetails.aspx?From=Bore

Thanks, but this is a four cilynder engine that is whay it has that diameter
49.95mm

 

Here's what I was looking at:
http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/ ... _maxim.htm

But, now I see that this is almost definitely wrong; They do say inline four, but they also say four valves per cylinder.

This looks more accurate:

How do you fit a 51mm piston into a 49.95mm bore? Or are you saying it's a 49.95mm piston and a 51mm bore?

Regardless, once you have the correct bore size, and the ring thicknesses, you should check with Total Seal to see whether they have a suitable ring set.

 

That is rigth the piston is 49.95 and the bore is 51 mm and the rings thicknes is 2.5 mm. The problem is that I´m in Chile.

 

Igor - what Paul is saying is that you will have to contact Total Seal and give them your specifications. If they have a suitable ring set available, they will be able to send them to you and you could probably pay by credit card.

If they don't have them perhaps you could ask them where you might be able to get a set.

This is the approach I would take (also being outside the US). I have the same hassles as you trying to get parts but haven't failed yet. Admittedly I haven't needed to get piston rings but everything else I have needed I have got either from Chacal, my local Yamaha dealer or ebay.

Like me, you need luck too!

 

Paul, somehow I can´t get conected with the link that you give me, for the piston rings

 

That works out to about fourty thousanths piston clearance- - that can't be correct specs, right guys??
That would rattle !

 

Í´m wrong again, the Bore is 51mm. Now the question, where do i get the rings for it??

I could really use all your help, here I did not fine them.

 

Try this one: http://www.totalseal.com/SearchByBore.aspx

Or, just go to their home page: http://www.totalseal.com

Cheers,

Thanks, but there rings start at 59 mm bore, thats is what I think that I found

 

No, they had some in the 47.8mm range as well. Just email or call them.

 

I will, hope to be lucky, cause I dont know what else to do

 

Hello, could anyone help me to get the information about the rings that I need, It´s a little dificult for me, because of my English.
Thanks

 

You could look at the "XJ4Ever - Supporting Vendor" forum for parts lists. There is a thread titled "XJ MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO PARTS CATALOG" and a forum member here could probably sell you piston rings for your XJ400. His user name on the forum is "Chacal". Engine parts are on page 2 and 3 of this online 'catalog' but I don't see XJ400 rings. If you send Chacal a PM (private message) he may be able to help you.

 

Thanks, but I allready did and he can not.
