However it turns out the oil control rings are too big - I understand that they changed from 3mm to 4mm at some point and mine need the older 3mm ring. All the other rings in the set I bought are OK.
Contacting Omega hasn't helped.
Does anyone have any idea if there may be any places that stock the older rings? |
The other alternative Adam would be to find a real engineer, with a real lathe (a rarity in these days of CNC machine shops) who can open up the ring grooves in the piston accurately to suit the new style rings.
