Any one found that that either of the two sets of STD rings for STD A+ pistons dont all fit!!!

One set has 1.5, 1.5, 3mm rings, the other has 1.59, 1.59, 4mm rings. The pistons are 1992 Cooper and are 1.59, 1.59, 3mm.

AE do not do a ring set for these, and im having to machine the oil ring groove out to 4mm. Either that or buy both sets of rings and mix n match.

I bought a set of standard rings off ebay for a few quid ages ago. It looks like the guy has done the mix n match as the compression rings are too small and the oil ring is too big. Fricken great, Ive been done over and its taken about 6 months to actualy find that out. Ah well.

Bloody Rover strikes again!!!!!!!!*angry*

 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'...
