trogboy 17 Posted January 29, 2008 I have just been looking at replacing my pston rings and getting the glaze broken on my liners but I have a couple of questions. I assume that you just buy a new set of standard liners from a main stealers but If I get the glaze broken on the liners will the standard rings be too short (i.e. end gaps too big). Also I know the liners come in 3 size tolerance groups (A, B & C) but are the rings the same? Finally where is a good place to pick up ring sets for the TUs if not the main dealer? Thanks guys, Ad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandy 191 Posted January 29, 2008 Proceed with care! Replacement pattern liners are a bit of a minefield and have caused me serious issues. They seem to be made at the wrong end of factory tolerance (bore large and height short). Peugeot only supply complete piston and liner sets, mega bucks. My preferred method is to buy a low mileage TU engine of the required capacity and transfer the parts. It's easier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted January 29, 2008 Wasn't this a brand new block or is it for a diff engine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They seem to be made at the wrong end of factory tolerance (bore large and height short). Peugeot only supply complete piston and liner sets, mega bucks. I have some new matched piston/liner sets from AE. I'm not sure who made the original ones for peugeot, however these look pretty ok to me and were cheaper then from peugeot. It is of course possible that they were the OE suppliers for pug, I don't know.. Hopefully AE didn't make the ones that you had problems with Sandy Edited January 29, 2008 by christopher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trogboy 17 Posted January 30, 2008 Just to clarify I am going to re-use my original liners - just get the glaze broken. I was after info on suitable replacement ring sets and how to make sure that they will be compatible with my liners/pistons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
