I am having a hard time finding oversized pistons & rings. In fact I don't see any of any size pistons listed on IPD or FCP.
Is there another source I'm missing ?
Where to find piston / ring kit ?

Finding rings is not a problem, but pistons for pre-2000 engines are rare.
Sometimes, Volvo engines wear out the cylinders, but the pistons are in good condition. In this case, new liners can be installed (machining required).
After 2000 new shorter pistons were used, pin diameter is 21mm instead of 23mm for old models.

^ Exactly. I did find some on Skandix, but for about $ 150 + each, and that doesn't include shipping from Europe. Nuts !
So since I only have lower compression in two cylinders, and rings are available, I will probably just go the cheap route and hone / re-ring those two cylinders and leave the everything else alone. I can see $$$$ being spent otherwise.
