I am going to order some piston rings for my +20 turbo pistons part number 20831 and was wondering who manfactured them.

due to the 'A' stamped on the crown am i right in assuming they are AE pistons.

IIRC they are AE yes...

if you find getting rings a problem give me a shout. They can be hard to find.

The "A" stamped on the crown refers to the size tolerance.

thanks for the replies.

I enquired at camberly auto factors and found some for £60 or £70 + vat so i will go for these.

i thought i would before they become completely obsolete.

Measure the ring dimensions as acurately as you can and give these guys a call http://www.performanceunlimited.co.uk/Contents.htm

I couldnt get any 74mm rings for the old stock Omega pistons i had, rang them and i had a new set of rings a week later. Segment of sugar rock as well *tongue*

Your custom order from the US will be with you in a week*wink*

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Just looked at the Total Seal catalogue and they list the Metro turbo 'Gapless' ringsets in std, 20, 30, 40,

Thats for gapless 1/16th first ring, conventional 1/16th second ring and standard 5/32nd oil ring.

I recon they do a conventional ring set which will be that bit cheaper.

IIRC the Gapless ring set for the 74mm would have been £150, the conventional set me back £85, LOL and a NOS set of Omega rings sold on ebay for £80 plus postage last week.

Recon on £85 and a weeks delivery time *wink*

i shall give camberly a ring and ask for a part number, i just made an enquiry to them to establish if they could get hold of a ring set. i will be more specific with them to ensure that they can obtain the right rings.
