Piston rings
Bugger,bugger,bugger,bugger, I feel such a pillock, just putting my type 4 engine back together and broke a bloody top ring!!! I've done the job
countless times before so I was being a bit blase about it and now I need a new ring. I suppose I'm going to have to buy a complete kit just for the
one ring (sounds a bit Tolkienesque) but does anyone know of another option, it's standard size 1800- not oversize,
Pleas help, the wife doesn't understand why I'm so depressed

woohoo!!! a single ring!
I broke a couple of rings last time and couldn't find someone who sold just one or two. The old rings weren't even broken in properly, so I re-used
them. Had to. Half the old rings were broken for some reason. Not sure I want to know. The motor had a lot of nasty little failures like that.
If at first you don't succeed. Build, build again.

Hey guys,
I gave that bloke a call at Mick Cashell Engines and no problems "Yep we've got that size here, I'll post it tonight for you". Brilliant service
and no having to buy a complete kit, I am well chuffed and AVD has come up trumps yet again. :kiss
