I got my engine apart (as stated in another thread). I am online looking for rings for it. I want to go with the single piece oil ring design with the OE spring type expander. I am looking at Goetze and Mahle, though I cannot find a good price or a good place to buy them... in other words, I am having trouble locating them easily and when I do, the price is outrageous. I have, however, sourced some from a VW Parts website for $9/cylinder (I am assuming they are some Chinese ones) and I have not heard anything bad about these rings. My question is should I simply get the Chinese rings that have the OE one piece piston ring, or is it worth getting the Mahle or Goetze rings? If I go with the Goetze or Mahle, where do you guys suggest I buy them from? I have been searching using a 1.6L Rabbit diesel as reference. I'd like to order by tomorrow. Thanks!!
