I got these new pistons a while ago. With some other parts. They are all wrapped in xenoah wrappers and stamped 1.00 on top. Took them out today and noticed they have 2 rings on them. I thought all xenoah pistons were just 1 ring on them. One has a old piece of paper inside that has 26082 on it. When researched part number well that it does show as 76 440 ( 1.00m oversized) factory piston. I see older chaparral xenoah pistons show two rings but different style without holes in skirt. Im a bit puzzled Can someone clarify for me please? Thanks Dave  Attachments:

Most likely Chaparral. All that I've ever seen had holes in skirts.

These have proper style holes in skirts in 76. But have 2 rings.
Looked online seen chapparel and had no holes.

They look like Chaparral.. The Chaparral Liquid pistons had holes in them.

I thought those were 76 Xenoah pistons with the 2 holes in them whereas the 77 Xenoah piston had one large hole?

Thank you very much snosnake and Kevin. I knew if posted pics guys like you would know what they were all about.
So will these 74 Chappy L/C work in the Rupp L/C motors ?
Just so I can be clear if keep them or decide to sell. No surprises for anyone.
Again thanks guys
Dave

I don't know if they will work or not. For sure you will have to remove the bottom ring. One way to find out stick it in there and try it.

Make sure the ring end gaps don't end up in a port. Also make sure the end gap is not real close to a port. You might need some different thickness thrust washers. I'm sure Kevin can help you with that.
