Sea King-Gale 3 hp piston ring part numbers needed, help!

Yes I'm here again looking for more help. got a 1961 gg18735 16x, locked up but not really, was just a little stuck. anyway no compression, or spark, but was cheap with fair paint. opened it up today and found coil shot and points wore out. no problem cuz I have some from another project. pulled the cylinder and found stuck rings and alittle transfer of metal. got that taken care of but broke the rings trying to remove them. there are 2. researched the forums way back and found gale # 593425. and another saying omc # 378412. I think someone also said they were different. Maybe it was F_R. I am hoping someone can confirm the number I need. maybe a sierra #. I don't have a big problem paying a quoted price of $25 but when you add $10 freight, well seems kinda pricey. Thanks in advance.

Bore on the E/J is 1 9/16" bore on the gale is 2 1/8". As you may know the E/J is a twin,the Gale is a single.
Gale end gap is 0.005 - 0.015.ring to groove cleasrance ios 0.001 - 0.0035. Skirt should have a clearance of 0.0025 - 0.004.
in the cylinder.

Hi, saw this post about rings, I need to find one of those rings for my 2.125" bore Sea King also. The ring height is 3/32". I broke one trying to reinstall the piston because I didn't realize there was a "bump" in the piston land to locate the ring gap. Does anyone know where I can get one? Even a good used one would be fine.
Thanks
