Re: piston rings

I thaught the same thing about the plain rings to. Moly's are supposed to last longer, but in marine applications does it matter.

Re: piston rings

There are different honing specs
for Moly rings. Make sure you tell you machinist the type rings you are using so he/she will put the right pattern
