Yeah, but to be honest i think he was just unlucky, i've done 15k since mine is done and i think sibart has done huge mileage on his with no probs. On the USA forum no reports of ring problems either..

What happened to the vrs you're talkin' about ? Anything related to the press reg valve ?

As far as i know a piston ring broke and then scored the bore which required engine replacement.. he would have been running OEM valve not related.

Ah, I understand. I've heard of a similar problem around here with a 100% stock ED30. I was just curious why this failure was brought into discussion in this topic and thought it had something to do with the RS4 press reg valve !
