Yes, some early Drive-E engines had piston ring problems.

so if engine serial is later than 1501327 for example "1502000" I should not buy it ?
If lower it is ok ? For example 150000

Yes, that is when they changed to the updated pistons. I don't think I've had to do any pistons on ones that already have the updated ones so so far, they are good.
