Tracking down rings for custom pistons from 2006 turned out to be a bit of a challenge. Big thanks to Paul at IE for working with Total Seal to get some made for me. This time around I decided to stay away from the gapless version and opted for traditional rings instead. They arrived on Friday, so over the weekend my Dad and I reassembled my motor and dropped it back into the car. It fired up pretty quickly, and best all its no longer burning oil.

While it was out, I gave my header a fresh coat of paint.

Happened to notice that you have located the oil spray bar support under wrong bolts. In theory the front part hanging free could resonate and develope a crack but I wouldn't be too worried.

The pistons are made by Ross Racing, ordered from IE back in 2006. They're first oversize at 89.25mm.
