Engine Rebuild question - SonnyRoby - 12-01-2014
Rebuilding a xud9 engine. What piston rings do you recommend?
Thank you!
RE: Engine Rebuild question - padge - 12-01-2014
Peugeot oem ones!
RE: Engine Rebuild question - SonnyRoby - 13-01-2014
Has anyone tried any other piston rings than oem ones? Not in my budget the oem ones. Also i see the compretion ratio for the xud9 is 21.8. What is that in bar/psi?

don't cost cut when bulding an engine it will only bite you in the arse in the long run

Not on an XUD - but used Total Seal rings when I did my GTi-6.

A ratio is ratio, doesn't have a unit
RE: Engine Rebuild question - SonnyRoby - 13-01-2014
Ok. 26 bar on 2 pistons and 27 bar on the other two. Is is ok or change the piston rings?
RE: Engine Rebuild question - zx_volcane - 13-01-2014
compression @ 26bar sounds good to me

Again like Jammapic it's not XUD's specific experience, but I've always found a good quality aftermarket piston ring set is fine. On the petrol XU rebuilds I've carried out I've used Federal-Mogul rings which are readily available and typically much cheaper than OE.
