W3lshyx Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Piston rings have got on piston 1 and 4 on my glanza, just looking at what options I have, buy some new rings and fix it or should I just save abit and forge it? Where's cheapest place to pick up a full forge kit? Any help will be appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

W3lshyx Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 For the price of forging one myself probably be cheaper to buy one already done aslong as it's got proof Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey4410 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 forging your engine ureself at an absolute minimum will cost circa 1k. thats not including the machine costs to bore the cylinders. did mine on my gt I used to have in around 2010 and I did it for 1,100 quid.
