    Hi all,

    Was slotting pistons and rods back into an engine I'm building at the moment and pinched an oil control retainer ring (the thin little one either side of the oil control ring) snapping it.

    Don't want to fork out $200 for another entire ring set just for one shitty ring, anyone have a spare new item laying around? Any of the VG30 family will do, same part from VG30e through to VG30DETT.

    Not reusing one of the old ones either, they are all well grooved and done 200+ thousand kms. Brisbane preferred so I can get my hands on it ASAP!

    I'd just buy a whole set, no telling if you'll accidentally goof up another ring afterwards anyway.
    Good insurance
    EDIT: or get a few anyway - maybe two or three in case :p

    This is for no 6 piston so last one to go in, surely someone has one good ring I can nick!

    Are they standard rings if not what size are they?
