This is quite a long winded post, but I would like to clear something up.

I have a brand new set of rings for the std turbo pistons. The compression rings all fit with the correct ring to grove clearence ect.

The only thing I don't like is the large single piece oil control ring, compared to the 3 piece that came off them originally.

would it be possible to use the oil scraper again, but with new rings that sandwhich it? I have mic'd up another set of new n/a rings and found those oil rings to be the same thickness as the turbo oil rings. So I guess the difference in thickness of the oil control rings comes from the thickness of the scraper itself.

I guess the main question is will the scraper be fine to use twice, without increasing oil consumption?

Thanks

the cast ones are fine but make sure you have no more than 12 thou gap when fitted in the bores.
