Audi 200 piston rings...

Don't go cheap on piston rings.  I bought a set of rings for my 5000 diesel
about 20 years ago( made in Brazil)and they lasted only 20k miles.  When I
pulled then out you could twist them like wire and they would not spring
back.  Talk about loosing their tension.  I replaced them with a good set of
German rings and had no problems after that.
