   Looking for some new rings for my JP4 block.
   
   Anyone had any experiences with these? Or would you only buy genuine pug/citreon ones?

   Any advice welcomed.

   Never used these before, but id seriously just get genuine Citroen ones, as with most internal engine parts. You don't want to fit them and embed them into the bores to find out that they're shite and your burning oil within a few k miles

   I used a set of 40quid rings (for all 4 pistons), worked absolutely fine. No idea on them though!

   Do you know what brand they were?
   
   
   I might just go with the genuine pug ones tbh. Do it once, do it right.. Any one know how much the genuine ones are?

   Get genuine. Don't try these out.
