A piston ring must match its groove and cylinder, not only the engine brand. This Shangchai listing does not provide a part number, ring dimensions or package count. Confirm the engine serial, piston markings and ring position before requesting a replacement.
Record the old ring before it is discarded
Keep each removed ring associated with its cylinder and groove. Photograph any markings and note the ring profile and orientation shown in the engine manual. Measure the groove and cylinder using the prescribed method. A worn ring may have lost its original shape, so compare it with catalogue information rather than ordering solely from an old measurement.
Ask whether the listing is for one ring or a complete piston-ring set, and confirm which positions are covered. The compression and oil-control rings can differ in profile and installation direction. Do not reverse them or use a generic gap value; follow the instructions for the exact engine and piston.
Help the supplier identify the part
Send the nameplate, serial, piston number, cylinder location and photos of the ring and grooves. If this is a D05-series overhaul, the separate D05 ring-set listing carries listed references that still need to be matched to the engine; it does not establish that this unnumbered item is the same set.

No package count or contents are stated. Confirm whether it is a single ring or a set.
Can I use the old ring's measurement as the order size?

Use the overhaul manual for the identified engine and piston.
