Are we sure the oil ring deffo fits in the groove, since Rob Gavin and another member bought those and the oil ring did not fit On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

I think it is more to do with the depth of the groove

Minispares are confident that they are the correct fitment, but have never tried to fit them to a piston it would seem. Send them back and complain, then go and buy some Total Seal gapless rings :) On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

its the spring part that is too wide in sedction and it stops the rings sitting in there grooves deep enough ,i think if yoyu retain the origional old springs you may be able to use standard rings,
