Sizing spiral locks

[Cuda416]

I got a hold of a set of these

and will probably need to replace the spiral locks. Not sure what size I'll need, but they are triple spiral.

Suggestions?

Call UEM. They have all that stuff.

Spirolox have been .990" for Mopar small block pistons. I'm pretty sure thickness has been .042" or .044" with some manufacturers using 2 per piston and some 4 per piston. But the original manufacturer is the best place to get them from. Always hated trying to take the old ones out.

FOUR per piston??? Dang, I'd have to invent a whole list of new cuss words for that set of pistons.

I was able to look up the piston on the UEM website which showed the part number for the locks. They're available pretty much everywhere for about 2 bucks a piece.

I LOATHE Spirolox. I'd replace them with good quality snap rings.
