I feel bad about posting problems from something thats NOT R/C.....

I have a Mitsubishi Meiki TLE23 engine than I was cleaning out since it hasint been run for a while, came on a motorscooter I had bought, but I accidently snaped one of the rings on the piston...

Do you guys know of anyone who makes custom rings? I cannot find ANYTHING on this motor so I cannot get replacement parts.

Thank you guys

Contact Frank at [email protected]. He will make rings to fit better than OEM rings and at a better price than parts houses. I don't see your engine listed in his list but if you send him your piston & cly he will hand fit them to mate up for a custom fit. his phone number is (505) 327-0696, give him a call before you send it to see if he can fix you up.
His mailing address is: Frank Bowman 1211 N Allen Ave. Farmington, NM 87401-3568.

Ditto on that, Frank is the one you want for the job.

Wow you guys are fast

Yeah sounds like a good idea, I should have taken better care when taking them off, teehee

Thanks for the help guys, ill give him a ring or a email.

Once the rings warm up from running in the engine, I've seen some bend easily, and some become very brittle. Frank will take care of you.
