Bulletin No. SB-806
Piston Rings
SUBJECT: SERVICING PISTON RINGS AS COMPLETE SETS PER PISTON.
Beginning Monday, October 24, 1960, Outboard Marine Corporation's Parts Depot began
packaging piston rings into complete sets per piston. Consequently, individual ring
numbers are superseded by set numbers as contained on the reverse side of this bulletin.
List prices shown are subject to the standard parts discounts.
Those dealers and distributors who have stocks of the individual piston rings listed
need not be concerned about disposing of such stocks since individual rings can still
be serviced until they are exhausted. Thereafter dealers should order piston rings
from their parts distributor by the corresponding superseding set numbers. Kindly
change your records accordingly.
EXCEPTION: Piston rings for engine models KD and PO-15 series will continue to be
serviced individually. The rings involved in this exception are standard size
27-25 for the KD-15 and 29-10 for the PO-15, as well as .020 oversize 302395 for
the KD-15 and 302393 for the PO-15.
DISTRIBUTORS NOTE: In addition to packaging piston rings into complete sets per
cylinder, the following sets are also overpacked and shipped in quantities of 10 sets
because piston rings are a fast moving item. When ordering any of the following
listed ring sets, please order in multiples of 10 sets:
378410 (Std.) 378426 (Std.)
378411 (Std.) 378430 (Std.)
378412 (Std.) 378431 (Std.)
378415 (Std.) 378432 (Std.)
