Title: CB500K0 piston rings
Post by: Raymond_Y on June 18, 2019, 04:40:30 PM

Has anyone used Cruzinimage_uk piston rings?  When I came to refit my pistons yesterday, I found one ring broken.  Many expletives were voiced as the were all fine and within spec when I had removed and refitted them to clean the pistons.

Cruzinimage piston rings are great, use them very regularly with no problems whatsoever.

Should also have mentioned if you are unaware, Cruzinimage UK are in Japan. So you need to add about 34% on top of the price of the rings to take into account post, duties and Parcelforce kidnap fees.

Bryan, it is a bottom compression ring (i.e. the middle ring) that is broken.  The rings are standard.

Thanks Bryan

Julie, will duties and kidnap fees apply if the cost is only £36 + £9 p&p.
