Your TT250 piston that you are selling are not TT250 pistons. They are XT250 low compression pistons. Buyer beware. False advertising.

Rings installed

Hi.
Thanks for the prompt service.
My only query is why the piston rings weren't supplied separately, instead of being installed onto the piston?
The barrel needs to be bored & piston honed to size, as it's an oversized?
Why aren't the rings individually wrapped as "Top, 2nd & Oil" with fitting instructions "T" goes up, ect?
I'll work it & sort it out myself.
Cheers, Good day.
