I need to put new rings in my H22 with the stock frm sleeves. Can i use JE rings? I've heard you can use Wiseco, but i'm wondering about JE.

If your using OE pistons, use OE rings...

 

i know that's what would be recommended, but would je rings damage the frm sleeves?

 

bump

 

call JE

Why would you want to use JE rings with OE pistons?

 

bc i'm assuming they would be better/last longer. and i found them for a really good price(cheaper than oem)

Cheaper should never influence any decision... As far as them lasting longer... Nope

 

bump for someone with first hand experience

You want my second hand experience too?

 

i'm not trying to say your info is worthless or invalid, just looking for some more opinions

 

What you want to hear is that the cheaper rings will work fine, but in reality... OE rings are the best you can get for a daily driven vehicle... A lot of people are using Honda rings with aftermarket pistons such as JE, CP, Arias, Wiseco, Mahle, etc.

Reasons being:

1. They are pre gapped
2. They will last longer

 

yea, i'd like to hear that the je rings would work fine, bc i already have them. but i just wanna know the truth either way. thanks for the info.

 

Well the rings aren't the problem when using different pistons in the H-series block.

I'm gonna say the JE piston rings SHOULD work, provided they're the same thicknesses as the OEM's. Would I use the JE's over the OEM's? Nope.

 

well, the reason i'm asking is bc obviously je rings are made to go with je pistons which are forged. so i didn't know if they would work with the frm or not.

next question, does anyone know where to get oem rings for a good price?
