Piston Rings Needed

[TalonTSiGuy]

Hey whats up again guys......

Yipee!!!! i get more bad news....well awhile ago i blew my head gasket while the car was getting tuned w/ my bigger turbo setup..

My buddy and i finally finished the job a couple days ago, but we were getting some white smoke coming outta the left side of the valve cover where i have an intake breather......it was some massive blow by.


Well it turns out my piston ring is fried in the number 2 cylinder and we get to take everything apart again........

Now question is......where is there a good place to buy piston rings, on the net or in stores doesnt matter to me.....i called mitsubishi and they told me $116.00........ im pretty sure that ive seen them cheaper then that.....so if you guys could give me a few places to go, that would be great...


Thanks alot.

Buschur sells OEM ones for $150 and Total Seal/Hastings for $130. If you can get OEM ones for $116, I'd say thats pretty good. I've seen some on eBay for around $80-90, but the auctions are sparatic.

For OEM rings try www.jnztuning.com.

Its the guys from Conicelli. Cheap prices.

As for Total Seal, blah Total Craps more like it. Friend of mine who works for TRE has had nothing but problems with them.
