Anyone out there have a set of +.060 pinned rings for the '39-'52 Eight? Local Dixie Chapter member needs a set (he's not "internet active"). Please e-mail me directly at hetpwald@mindspring.com (remove the "het" first).

Park, contact this person, I've bought several sets of NOS rings from them. .060 is gonna be a stretch however. May need to sleeve or find another block.

Thanks, Josh. To clarify, this is not a rebuild problem but an engine that has been bored to +.060 some time in the past, which just needs new rings.
UPDATE: Engine bores now declared to be excessively worn, and no further re-bore possible. Sleeving back to standard considered not economically justifiable. Block is going to the scrap pile.
