Dave_Gilbert Anyone got any piston rings, head gasket n maybe forged rods? Smoking pretty bad when warm Done the valve stems, and turbo cartridge is brand new
corsaZ22se i have a set of b207r pistons if they are any good? came from the new engine. not sure if rings are the same as 2.2 ones?
Magmushroom I recently bought a set of rings off fleabay, came overnight, free postage from Poland and all for less than £60, also searched fleabay for a complete head gasket set which if I recall was between £40-50. All runs ok with just under 30 miles on my clock, just waiting for the weather to clear up so I can fit my new 200 cell cat but gives me time to search for necessary gaskets as my local sources don't stock any anymore & have been reluctant to find & order the correct one. Rods etc I can't help with but hope you get sorted

vocky the B207 rings will fit, but the oil rings are fiddly to fit as they are slightly narrower in width and you need to be extra careful.
Dave_Gilbert Probably package them up but hold on a little bit just getting a price on everything from work so Al let u know cheers Ambrose /dave 😉
corsaZ22se it will take me a while to get to them, i can see them in a box at the back of the shed :LOL:
Dave_Gilbert It's no good mate. But if n when u do get chance let me know how much I want for them think I'm gonna have to bite the bullet n do the rings 🙁
vocky also worth mentioning some saab top rings are wider than the top z22se rings, so be careful and measure them to be 100% sure
