Maybe he tightened it up incorrectly.

Maybe they were Chinese fakes and the factory ones would have lasted forever

Ok guys finally got all my parts to rebuild engine now , checked piston ring end gaps on original rings and they are looking like 0.45mm sound about right ? I am obviously fitting new rings so I will need to set gaps to suit

Yes that's about right for an 83 bore turbo engine (.04565 top ring, .5395 second ring) , ask the manufacturers what they say though.
