<p>I'll buy them eventually. But why pay new when there are used out there.</p>

 

What rings are you using? Chrome moly rings? (OEM are chrome moly). If so, use a 400+ grit hone, and scrub the cylinders with soak/water/sponge to get all the metal out of them after honing.

 

Lol! theres probably some truth to that

 

Im being cheap, just OEM iron, or maybe they were steel, see NPR link on previous page. But no, not chrome.

 

I know, it's a joke but then again, maybe not!

Ah yeah, did the 1.6's have iron rings stock? If so then a 280-320 grit hone is fine. Good news is iron rings seat really fast.

 

Im just assuming they were iron. The nippon replacements I got are steel, so they could have been steel from the factory I suppose, but im sure nothing anymore exotic than that.

 

WTF Rosenthal? 19 in stock I order 8, they print a pick list for 7.....





thats not 8. pt no for those who might need it, aidan




Anyone know what this weirdness is about?

 

Buying that product you're either a nerdy businessman with glasses and a brief case or a mechanic with a massive double sided wrench... That you like to hug?

Dat Japanese lyfe

 

Lol. When I get a second, im going to visit their site and see if they have a place for me to stick that code or something. Maybe its reward points or something

Lol, thats fukin cool. Thanks Aidan. Ive been so busy today, havnt even had time to play community build thread games.

Edit- Its clear they are proud of their product, theyve made a repeat customer. Thats cool they are protecting themselves from ripoffs.

 

Wow, that's pretty cool.

 

2 out of 4 order fucked up for this rebuild, my kind of luck to be honest.

I was degreasing the rods and decided just to test fit a bearing on a whim, im glad I did.


um... what? see the tang? that isnt going to work



nevermind the fact that its way to thin




The part number on the box didnt even come up in google. I notice its a sticker over a sticker... a warehouse stock number. Peel it back and....


My B6 definitely isnt a toyota 1zzfe



So now im scrambling to find a full set of bearings by tomorrow. After being on the phone for the last 30 minutes, DNJs from parts authority are my only option, I should have them later this afternoon.

 

are you sure it's not a 1zzfe? have you double checked?

 

**** off vlad im not in the mood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

it's their subtle way of telling you that you should have gone with 1.8

 

except that theyre the same bearings

 

Also, never trust an ebay seller with 5 figure transaction numbers and 100% perfect feedback.
