Quote: Rings just plain aren't going to make up for an out of round cylinder but do what you want. If you go with the tight clearance KB pistons be prepared for some piston slap too. If you are going to spend the money for new pistons do it right. For about 125 bucks you can have it bored and the pistons fit right.
Putting rings in this engine as is is just silly , the cylinder needs the proper hone finish to get the rings to seal, I don't think gapless rings come in plain cast iron as that's probably the only thing that will even remotely seal , plus now people are expecting him to breakdown the short block while it's still in the vehicle ?
Don , I wish I could get a V8 bored and honed for that cheap, around here is $300 ...
Train wreck , that's what this has been for me ....
