Cast iron does make sense but you need a multi-piece LOW TENSION oil ring
If you ever wondered how to 'Low Tech' test low tension rings:
Put the piston tin the bore w/rings push it to the bottom and drag it back with a fishing scale
Again use WD-40 on the rings
No I'm not gonna tell you what the number shouldbe!
Every builder has some secrets and likes/dislikes
I can tell you that I have mixed and matched oil ring sets and sizes to get numbers I like
And in most cases Deves wins!P.C.Second! TOTAL SEAL
Never!
One more thing....the piston goes in upside down and you pull it back up by the wrist pin
Sorry!!I know some of you would have figured that out!! | | |
