Anyone knows piston ring thickness?
Hi,
I looked everywhere but couldn't find any spec on these; specifically the compression ring #1.
I'm measuring my pistons for wear and with my old ring, the side clearance is 0.102mm. That seems to be at the edge of tolerance according to BA's book or at the high end of new installation tolerance according to the Porsche spec book.
Would these be re-usable? Thoughts? Comments?
thanks...

If you have pistons that are on the edge, you can send them to Total Seal and they will re-cut your ring grooves for you and give you oversized rings. Very modest price..

In Wayne D's book it states if measuring using your old rings you need to take into account the worn ring thickness and I don't see what a new ring thickness is supposed to be.
