Title: 1mm over 1.6 rings
Post by: moTthediesel on November 15, 2009, 09:49:03 am
I'm rebuilding a 1.6td block that I recently picked up. I find it's been bored out to 3rd oversize (77.48 pistons) and the cylinders look fine, (honing marks all still visible all around) but I'd like to put new rings in it. My usual sources don't stock 3rd over rings, anybody know a supplier of (preferably German made) rings in that size?

Thanks for that --

I never heard of them, and they're in Syracuse, all of 90 mins from me --
