I cleared this up with the supplier. Apparently the person at the 
warehouse opened the set of 5 and sent me just 1. The other 4 are on the 
way now. Maybe they could not comprehend that an engine might have 5 
cylinders.

Next question is if anyone has used rings made by Goetze (A Federal 
Mogul subsidiary). I was considering Audi rings, but they are much more 
expensive.
