Alright, here's the deal. I need piston rings, however, I have no clue who made these pistons (86.5mm). They are custom with a raised wrist pin to accommodate a LONGER rod on a STROKER. It's not a Tomei or a Greddy kit. Has a Holbay (British) crank and Cunningham (USA) rods. I have been led to belive that it might have been peiced together by Asadaya Racing after talking to someone at Cunningham. First person that identifies them and I can verify with the company that they are theirs gets $10 in their paypal account.

why is the manufacturer important? trying to save a few bucks on a replacement? just ship one off the the piston maker of your choice and they'll make you a new one, there are way too many custom pistons manufacturers out there and as fas as I know they don't mark their customs

and why do you not know? you bougth the car form someone who probably knows

Just need rings, pistons are in good shape. Stroker kit was put together buy Garage ITO in Japan and they are now defunct.

Just measure the width and depth of the lands and you should be able to find a set of rings.

total seal will custom make rings, and they are pretty cheap, at least compared to custom pistons

Total Seal makes good rings. I have them in my Supra, 2-3% leak down, I tested. I wouldn't call them cheap though, $200 for six cylinders.

As others have said, the piston manufacturer doesn't matter much if you're just after rings. Any piston manufacturer should be able to get you rings based on your measurements.
