    The rings are coming from Japan. The piston from Germany. I'm finding a lot from eBay. So far they all have been correct in their description. we'll see if these are correct.

    I only needed one and that's the last new std piston I've seen on eBay or anywhere else.

    you're using a beautiful hand-made middle eastern wool rug on a garage floor ?????? please don't, as it shows bad manners at least and disregard for a cultural relic.

    Moroccan actually. My wife was born there. She said I could put it in my room. The house is hers but I figure the garage is my room so I put it there. No worries though. I figure I can clean it of all the oil, grease, metal shavings, tire marks, and bugs before I return it to her.
