Re: Where to get standard piston rings?
Cheers mate... I will contact you.... but not right now, it is 4:45am here and for some reason I am feeling a bit sleepy
That element is a weird one? It looks like it is solid? Naturally, I had to block the far end with my hand and blow thru it to see if air went thru it....
yes it did, and I ended up with a nice black ring around my lips that tasted like unleaded petrol.... DoH!!
I cant understand people sniffing that stuff?? Super (with lead) tasted much, much better ....

Re: Where to get standard piston rings?
Hi Malcolm, I spoke to Frank today and he said you are sending him some stuff and my bits can come in that, if that is ok by you.... so I will organise it before then, I will need a couple of sets of std rings and will grab that block breather filterimporium wrote:Hi Mr Oz,imp-aus-ter wrote:I looked at his site and no mention of rings?I dont put everything on the website, as stock changes all the time & only on there if I have a few of ....

You might have to make allowances, Malcolm. He's got a Hyundai.
