Hi,

I am fixing up a 71 cb175 and had a question when it came to swapping out the rings. The oil ring that was on the bike is all one piece, unlike the ones I ordered.
Is this a problem? The part number is correct on the box. Any help is appreciated.

The new style oil ring is composed of three rings. So you have the correct set.

could you wait to test mine?

when i was working my bike i had the 5 rings and i had smoke out of the exhaust and dead spark plugs.
now i changed with the 3 pieces as the manual says.
i don't now if it will work but i hope today i will start it up.
when i compared th 2 types rings i saw than the old type is bigger than the 3 type



you can see the 2 rings (actually they are 4)

in my case i have less smoke with the old type of oil ring (the double oil ring not the three)
