200sx rings

[andyf]

From 300zx.co.uk:


After running my engine in with TotalSeal rings - I've apparently got a problem which haunts most toalseal users - oil burn, and lot of it!

So.... I need some 88mm (which is 1mm oversize for the VG30) rings. Nissan only go to +0.5mm, Johnny @ GPS hasn't a clue, and my local engine builders only suggestion is the 200SX rings - which are the correct size and shape apparantly - can anyone confirm this? (88mm, 1.6 top, 1.6 scraper, 4mm oil)

Any help regarding 200sx rings or where i may source some rings from would be much appreciated

Please post below if you can help out a fellow Nissan owner :)
I believe S14 rings are 86mm standard.

Not sure what the SR is but the CA is 83mm std and go up to 84mm in oversize. So CA rings aren't much good at all :(

SR is 86mm std, and 87mm on the oversize, maybe 88mm are available - who knows :confused:

Can get 87.5mm oversize pistons for the SR but I've not seen any 88's.

I've got total seal rings, I think his problems is that he hasn't thrown the PCV valves away which the TS instructions tell you to do.

Basically they seal that well they suck more crap out of the breathers.

I reckon a catch tank would solve his problem.

Ah ha.

You can get 89mm or 90mm Grex rings for the VG30DETT..
