Piston ring's problem, Please help!
Hi people,
Im completely new here so please be as lenient as possible tried and looked where i could, have a version 4 sti had to get second hand engine for it so i did.. got new piston rings by my chassi no and no1 piston ring doesn't fit the piston for the engine that i got and the pistons in the old engine cant be reused two of them are slightly cracked from underneath also they are slightly different from one to another in shape and material i think, dealership doesnt accep't the return because its a special order!? so i asked for a new set of rings for the new engine which they needed the chassi no or reg no which i couldn't get from the scrapyard because the car was scrapped a good while ago and they dont have any record, please help?
Kind regards

Well thats great... So these pistons cannot be used on a sti? Can the crank and the block be used though? Can i just get the pistons and use my rings that i have and put em in it? Thanks for the info Mick ur my hero today
