I was doing the daily search of the Internets looking for things to buy as you do......
Came across some piston rings but I'm not sure if I'm being stupid or something but is that really a set of rings for £20 Why is the other set £90???

no idea haha! ive seen prices between £25 and £85 so i guess it just depends where the autofactors get them from (QH, bosch etc.)

Just been having a look at the ring for cg10 and its same for those. The only slight clue I seem to have found is that ' Numbermaggiorazione, could but not defonetly mean number of increase thwlen its saying .50 or similar sp I would have guessed that that oversize or somat, but then I would have thought an oversize would be less common therefpre the more expensive not the cheaper 1. So I cant figure it out lol planning on ordering a set next week for engine rebuild so I may have to contact them an aak them. I recognise the brand, I bought a full gasket set last month but not got up to using it yet, but looks good.

Hi mate. I found out the difference...cheaper one is .5mm oversize and of lower quality
