Wanted 1UZ piston ring wanted.

[daniel_johno]

Hi all.
Ive been rebuilding a 1UZ which i plan to fit into my porsche 944. I stripped the engine but I accidentally snapped the middle piston ring on piston number 8 when i was trying to remove it. Does anyone have a replacement ring or a replacement set of rings?

Thanks

Daniel

Do u need brand new or used? I have plenty of used..

I just need a used one as I am re using the other rings as they are not worn at all and the bores have no wear on them and still have the honed finish so i dont think the engine has had a hard life.

How much would you want for one posted for Scotland?

Thanks

Daniel

free just few bucks for shipping but it wont work well because used rings and aged cylinder doesnt make well.

I am hoping that it will run ok as I will be reusing the origional top and bottom rings. I imagine a new set of rings would be quite expensive. Ive sent you my details via PM.

Thanks

Daniel

Don't be so Scottish .. Lol...
Buy a set of rings, hone the bore and your set...
Chances are second hand rings don't bed in properly..
