jmcuprar Active Member Dec 23, 2010 159 0 Chester May 16, 2012 #1 I'm looking at fitting forged rods which I have bought, is it worth while renewing the piston rings? If so where's the best place to get them? Thanks

jmcuprar Active Member Dec 23, 2010 159 0 Chester May 16, 2012 #6 Would I be best staying with the standard mahle rings?

jmcuprar Active Member Dec 23, 2010 159 0 Chester May 16, 2012 #9 Thanks. So are all 81mm pistons fitted with the same rings?
