Segment????

Post by jono73 » Fri Jan 22, 2016 12:56 am

Hi there,

I am totally new to owning a SJ 413. The mechanic here in Cape Verde speaks little english and has told me there is a problem with the segment? I have no idea what this is and what i need to get in parts to fix it. Any help would be appreciated and any parts needed where can i get.

thanks

Jonathan

it is apparently a ring that is failing and leaking oil into the engine and causing low pressure...make any sense?

Could be a piston ring but it would be expensive to buy some to find out it was something else he needs and its got lost in translation.
