Default My engine assembly experience and help needed

I have 7 of my 8 pistons in my engine for 2 reasons. One my machine shop set up 5 of my rods to go on one side of the block and 3 to go on the other. :mad The other reason being that i broke a ring. If you are going to put rings on pistons get a ring expander its definatly worth it. Is there anywhere that i can get just one ring? :cry Every thing else has gone smoothly i should be driving my car again by next weekend no problem. :)

You can order single rings from any manufacturer/supplier... just call them up and tell them what set you have and they should be able to hook you up no problem. However.... some places charge almost as much for a single ring as for a full set, so be forewarned.
