New rings with HL part number for the 2 3/16" bore. This would be typical on the 92cc kart engines.

The manuals have you gap the rings between .070 and .080. When placed in the bore, I've found almost all of the rings right in the middle at .075.
Install on the piston

Install the cylinder and secure with new 1/4-28 nuts lockwashers. There are no torque specs available for the case studs, so the standard torque should work fine.

Side plate or timing plate gasket. These too are available for a few dollars.

They are clocked for the bolt orientation. You could install with RTV if you want. The bolt holes in the case are blind.
I've powder coated the timing plate a bright silver.
---Originally the timing plate and intake manifold were likely treated by the DOW 9 process. This anodizing method used chromic acid to protect the magnesium.-- The color should be a greenish brown in most cases.
