March 17, 201313 yr Hi. Yal., Say, I'm buildin' up an EJ22T to stuff in my 88 GL10T, I've done a lite port & polish and valve job, and thot it'd be practical to repl. the rings while it's this far down. I talked to a friend in Santa Fe that runs a small Suby shop, and he said " ya, just pull the pistons and clean em' up, clean the oil rings and slam it back together". The end gaps are within factory spec's, but that seems sorta half assed. So far no success in finding rings, N/a's are every where, but it seems the 1.5- 1.5- 3.0s are hard to find. Guidance appreciated. Steve.
March 17, 201313 yr Half assed or not it will probably work fine. They are chrome-moly rings and don't really wear. I have never seen one break either. Clean out the oil rings, the grooves, and the oil drain ports in the oil ring groove.
March 19, 201313 yr http://www.gjparts.com/products/pistons&rings/NPR2008Book_catalog.pdf here's the NPR catalog for pistons and rings. NPR is who makes the rings that Subaru sells new. PN SWF20067 looks like yours...it's got the 1.5, 1.5, 3.0 rings sometimes Ebay comes up with results, sometimes Google will help
