I am replacing rings and am sourcing part#275340. Through Volvo Penta the rings are $80 per cylinder and through Volvo the rings are $35. Is there a difference? The part numbers are both the same.

Thanks.

Same part. There is nothing marine about piston rings.

I bought from IPD. The engine is running like new and has used no oil at all.
I researched rings a lot and these were recommended by some Volvo folks. Some rings are better than others for rering they said. Good luck.

Thanks Don. I thought they were the same, but the Volvo dealer didn't want to sell them to me and said that I would have to order from Volvo Penta for more than twice the money.
