I am pulling my motor for a bottom end refresh. I will be replacing all the bearings and rings, among other things. I have been told by my mechanic that it will be ok to replace the rings without boring and fitting oversize pistons if I run a light crosshatch hone through the bore. I anticipate being over 400hp, so I think this would be a good opportunity for some Ring upgrades. Does any company such as Total seal make a ring set for our car?


TIA!

 

I think Peter Jackson do some good rings...

 

Lol....

One Ring to Seal them, One more Ring to Seal them, One ring to control the oil...... Ok I can't make this go anywhere.

 

lol. Nice try though. You dont happen to know the torque settings on the intake manifold?

 

14 lb/ft

 

Haha deal with that Metric boy!

 

The answer to any numeric question is universally always the number 7. Easy.

 

Well I got off my *** and did a little research at Total Seal's website, turns out they do make a ring set for 944 turbos. Anyone have any comments/experiences about/for these?

 

Should you not be in bed dreaming of your next mod?

 

Yes, see, thats the problem. I can't sleep because I have visions of engine parts dancing in my head.

 

lol. Me too! I had my intake/IC pipes/fuel rail etc off 3 times today! I am an expert in it now. Trying to find this leak... I think it is the way the itake manifold is sitting. The hoses are all in the same place. I am buggered from the work though!

Oh, I took it off to measure the sizes of all the hoses for the venturi removal process... am going with SS braided lines all round...

 

I have nothing under my intake manfld except the head and block. I have one line that goes to the brake booster and that is it.

 

Bugger me! No ISV? Interesting... Just cap the intake port?

 

Hi BoostGuy,
No ISV !! Any issues with idling ?

 

Nay, sir. I control Idle via ye old Idle control screw and Link E Manage.
The Idle sits at 900.
