Re: New rings

The gaping seemed fine but no I did not gauge it. The box listed as standard and they were individually packaged in a 3 ring package, oil ring and the two compression rings plus springs. Given they were still in original packaging, new, and marked as standard I figured it was a pretty safe bet they haven't been swapped, even verified the sizing with a standard set so I know it's not the rings running into each other. The car has 46k miles on it and has been sitting pretty much untouched since 71. Right now the starter can manage maybe a engine revolution per second. Where is a place to get a new head gasket and are they really running 150 dollars plus?
