I have almost all of a spare deeves set for a 89 244 because I busted one ring when I did the engine in my wifes 240. it is .030 over. I went with the new mahle pistons, but broke the one ring by gently tapping the piston in ,, oops.. the Mahle ring had a stepped edge, yup, it is brittle.. remember the hoseclamp trick? better to have a proper ring compressor.. hindsight is 20/20.. the Mahle rings did have a hard chrome, or something ( silver ) but the mahle ones were black. ,, bet I could break those too.. :)
anyone want to do a cheapo re ring job on a 240? just use one ring over? hmmm.
