I'm rebuilding my engine (first time/have no idea what I'm doing) and I recently read on several different pages (1, 2, 3, 4) that you could save some money and buy piston rings made for several different Honda Acura's, read the links above if you're interested in details.
So for $40 I picked up 4 sets of rings, they looked fine when I first pulled them out as you can see here: (new right, old left)
But here's some close up comparisons of the individual rings -
Now, all the rings physically fit, but if this were your bike would you feel comfortable installing them? Should I just have paid $70 from Mike's? Is there any reason these should look any different? We're talking like milmeter differences here, should I not worry about it?
Thanks
