Your engine is only as good as the piston rings. If they suck, the engine sucks.
Through much blood, sweat and tears over the past 3 years I have determined the piston rings that come in the mainland china 50MM BBKs or any of the cheap kits for that matter are to be thrown in the trash, if you use them you are taking a HUGE gamble, your motor may turn out to be a smoker and have to be done over.
The options you have are to buy a HOCA piston and ring set from Parts For Scooters and just use the rings. I have had thousands of smoke free miles on these excellent Taiwanese piston rings
Several motors I have put Hoca rings in you can ride the piss out of em all day long and never use a drop of oil (the yellow bike in my profile pic now has 2000 miles on hoca rings)
China rings you might have 3 in 10 that will smoke like hell and 2 that smoke some and the rest are ok but you never know.
I hope this saves someone all the frustration I have been through. The mainland cheap china kits are fine except for the most important part, THE PISTON RINGS. Do yourself a favor and buy good rings. This is not my opinion, this is from direct experience having done at least 50 50mm ebay kits over the past 2-3 yrs. Never again will I use the piston rings that come in those kits ever. Hoca, RIK (Riken) or Wiseco from now on.
Oh and if you need top quality rings for your 52mm 90cc 139qmb use Racing Planet NK100.86 those are Riken (Japan)
