« on: November 05, 2012, 09:46:44 pm »
Does anyone know or what are the chances of finding a .020 piston kit for the 17hp ohv?  I know they are dicontinued. I had a heck of a time just finding rings for a std. Piston.

I would think you would have better luck in finding the .020 over "kit" with piston and rings vs a STD bore set of rings. Mainly because the Cheapest I have found the sets for is $120 and rings by themselves are only $20. Try shopping around online and see if anybody has them in stock. Parts tree is a good place to start.

I do believe that the only way you're going to get rings of any size for this engine is by buying the piston assembly. This engine is no longer supported by the company that bought Tec's parts business, so whatever is out there on dealers' shelves is all that's available.
