Should I use iron or moly rings in my .060 over 235? I ordered a master rebuild kit from Patrick's, and it comes with iron rings. I'm going to use cast flattop pistons, shaved head, cam, 4 bbl, fentons, HEI.

Thanks

I used moly in my 235. They take a bit longer to get seated than cast iron, but wear longer. smile

Are all 235 piston rings the same width? Can either iron or moly rings be used on the same piston? Do moly rings require a special hone on the cylinder walls?

Thanks again
Chip

the rings should be the same for the piston.I believe the cross-hatch(scratch marks made from honing are suppose to be at a different angle for each type of ring.45*angle for the cast iron ring and I cannot recall off the bottom of my head grin which angle is used for the moly rings.Someone here will probably answer befor I remember! eek
