[TR] Modernity of Thinking

...Yeah. ...Like I'm capable of it!
Anyway, it's been ten years since I rebuilt the engine on my '59 TR3A, but am going to do it again this winter...as soon as I get a wood stove hooked up in my...yes!  I have a garage this time!
...So...Moss has a piston/liner set for $578.  Roadster Factory has Mahle for $900 that includes other stuff.  Question:  Mahle is German, I think, and served me exceedingly well last time.  Anybody know about the quality of the Moss brand...or what it is?
Second question:  I went with an upgraded rear seal last time that had instructions to clip the spring by a certain amount.  Has there been an improvement in the rear seal solution in the past ten years?  I tried archives, but can't seem to see a clear change in styles.  But I admit I haven't been following the list closely these past couple of years.
Thanks again, everyone.
