Piston Rings
Hi All
I am still struggling to obtain parts and cannot seem to locate in Australia some piston rings for a Mahle piston 97.98mm for the Alusil bore.
Anyone know where I might try?
Thanks
Glen

I got 98mm top rings from Total Seal. I had the 2nds and oil rings. These are not "gapless." They are correct for an Alusil surface. I've been very happy with the top ring as had broken stock rings previously. They said this ring was intended for turbo engines.

Wow! What a mess. A challenge is finding all the rings in the right bore, height and depth. Looks like they had to custom-machine the 2nds. Pricing was near $500 for a complete engine set. $25 for each top ring.
