Best type of rings to use??
OK, i think i've pretty much narrowed my choice down to JE 9:1 Comp. pistons for a turbo application...now my question lies with ring selection...my two choices are JE rings or OEM rings...i've heard arguments both ways (i've used the search also.. 
), but i'd like to know if there is an advantage of one over the other?

Re: Best type of rings to use?? (TheSwift1)
if I have them available to use, then I go with OEM. If the piston diameter dictates another choice, then I look elsewhere. I've had good luck with Wiseco rings, they seat really fast. JE rings have been hit and miss. Total seals have not proven themselves to me to be any better than roach droppings, so I do not recommend those.
