DrKrazy Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Autopartsplace.com (think it's basically the same company as thepartsbin.com, though the prices are usally cheaper) has the piston ring set for $89.11 EA82 Piston Ring Set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulwnkl Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Yeah, that's a little steep, but what do you want? I mean, they never get to sell any because they never wear out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 If that were the case I wouldnt need to be buying any myself. But this block I have will need to be honed and that means new rings and bearings too. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenaissanceMan Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Make an order from ITM or ITM distributor. They got awesome subaru parts and they wont ream you like OEM. If that were the case I wouldnt need to be buying any myself.

Jerry DeMoss Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Ask Suby Gal at Chap' . I bet they have some for a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. RX Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Ask Suby Gal at Chap' . I bet they have some for a good price.The URL that Junkie gave is the site for Jamie at Chaplin. Hey Junkie, you asked for a cheaper site, I gave you one, you didn't say how much cheaper you wanted it. Good luck finding the parts cheaper, just remember, you get what you pay for. Non-Subaru parts, although cheaper, will cost you more in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 7, 2006 Author Share Posted January 7, 2006 Jerry, thats who gave me the part numbers Im not blaming her for the high prices, but $250... even $175 was more than I Was expecting. Maybe I'll just leave it up to a machine shop to get the parts and i'll just close my eyes when I pay the bill :-\ -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did rings bearings gaskets (all Japan stuff) for probably around 350$(my price) for the rallyX RX. since no one wants my spare motor I may build it up too and find somthing to drop it in.

Tycho Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Beck/Arnley rings at Rock Auto are 46.79/set Sealed Power rings are 81.79 there also. http://www.rockauto.com/ I think I went serious low ball and used the Beck/Arnley rings in my current engine. With a fresh hone and a 2000 mile break in with non synth oil there's no leakdown at all and the rings have survived their fair share of knock when I was playing with timing and different fuels (12,000 total on the engine).

TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 9, 2006 Author Share Posted January 9, 2006 Russ, your right. Im getting deeper and deeper into this project every week. I have my heads at the shop now being worked on, im sure thats gonna run me $250-$300. The block i got from the yard will need to be honed before it can be used... shop labor and parts (at this rate) will run me another $300-$400.... or I can goto the yard and try my luck again with another random block. *sigh* With rings and bearings priced the way they are, im leaning toward trying my luck with another block. -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Did you contact CCR?They may have a good lead to some rings for ya.Not sure if you already contacted them.Their # 303-293-9230. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

84gl Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 240-270 sounds about right for rings oem is the only way to go i know the price seems high but think about it 2-3 years down the road when the cheap set breaks a oil ring and your back to square 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 has anyone had a "cheap set" break? i'm not starting a debate, i'm curious since i've never rebuilt a block before. advanced auto parts has piston ring sets for abut $68. and i can get a discount on that. not saying i'm going that route, it'll be couple months before i get that far.

bulwnkl Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I've not used that many new rings, but I have bought the cheapest thing I could find and even on my little turbodiesel pickup they've been fine. If I had my druthers, I'd use maybe OEM or Deves rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyruss Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Nippon piston rings are verry high quality in my opinoin. they are a supplyer for such major manufactures as Toyota and Mercedes and many more. http://www.masterautoparts.com had the NPR rings listed in stock for 39.95 that was just the first place I looked. they are the rings I am using in the newly rebuilt RX motor and so far they are working just fine. not knocking the dealer but on items like this but the manufacture buys them from a supplyer who then sells them to a dealership. The dealership sells them to the consumer. thats two extra mark ups on prices than if you just bought from a distributor. yes I leared a bit working in the auto parts bussiness for 4 years.

Tycho Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Indeed...Nippon rings are killer. Most "in the know" honda and toyota builders use them in their 150 HP/L (or more) NA builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted January 11, 2006 Author Share Posted January 11, 2006 Is that $40 for an entire set? I dont see how rings will just fail... havent heard of anyone having problems on non-OEM rings either. And CCR were the 1st people i contacted. They told me they dont sell parts, just engines. With all the money I've spent and am looking at spending... i could have bought a CCR engine by now -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
