Hello the motor is a Jdm h22a. & I was wondering what piston rings I'm supposed to be using on this motor/ block. The reason I ask is because I was told that my motor may need special rings due to the coding on the sleeves. How do I know if I have this special coding on my sleeve. I'm not sure what year the motor is... I was told to use mahle piston rings, if my sleeves do have that special coding on them. but I would like to know your guises input before I do some type of error. Thanks [=

 

We need more info on your block. Are you running stock pistons? Are you running Mahle piston's?

 

Stock pistons, the reason i was thinking about going with the mahle piston rings was because i was told that my block may possibly have that special coding on the sleeves, and since i could get the mahle piston rings for $65 bucks appose to the honda rings for $230 quite a diffrence or what do you guys think. Oh by the way i was told that i can use nippon piston rings also, but your thoughts would be great.
