St205 3sgte Piston Rings - Where To Buy?

[Zemi]

Hi all,

I´m in trouble... Just checked pistons compression and they are 8-11-11-11 so I think I need new piston rings as 8bar is below 8,8bar that stands in manual. Still the car goes strong, but I´m afraid for how long...

Thought these will fit > http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...RTQ:MOTORS:1123 , but after contacted them told me they wouldn´t. Do someone know where to buy in UK? I´m from Czech Republic but traveling to UK often...

Thanks in advance...

its more likely a cracked piston ringland, does the car have an off beat sound in a morning (bit like a scooby)

its better to replace the pistons themselves and use forged pistons while your at it ( JE or CP are good brands) rebore to 86.5mm and replace bearings and oil pump while your at it.

The engine sounds great no strange noise. No smoking and no oil consumption. I don´t like just the compression on first piston.
