Any thoughts on engine part quality (Britpart, Allmake, Bearmach, Turner)?

About rings...find out who makes the rings turner is selling/using. Then see if you can find out who makes the allmakes rings you are looking at. That will give you a place to start on your research and hunt.
Thing about allmakes is they buy parts from different companies and they sell good parts, not so good parts, and crap parts.... depends on what the part is and who they are getting the part from this week.
If you can get whoever is selling the allmakes stickered rings to give you the maker, then contact turner and if theirs are the same maker... and the allmakes are cheaper then you've saved $ without settling for less quality.
You have to dig deep when buying parts these days, a big name (on the box) from an old company don't mean much anymore.

I am preparing to rebuild a 2002 D2 engine. I was planning on using Turner Engineering parts, but became aware of lrdirect.com parts. They offer different price levels of parts. Generally, Britpart as the cheapest manufacturer, Bearmach and Allmakes in the middle and rover parts as the most expensive.
For just one example. Turner piston ring set is approximately $195. lrdirect.com Britpart is aproximately $65.
I do not want to go cheap on parts, but do not want to pay extra for comparable quality parts (especially if they are all manufactured by the same plant and stamped by different distributors) or purchase parts that are going to outlast everything else in the vehicle by years.
Does anyone have experience with this issue that they will share?
