<VV> Piston Rings

[Michael Kovacs]

 As long as everything every thing else is done properly, including the break in 
phase, the cast rings engine should last for a long time. I never gave thought 
to what type of rings were original equipment for Corvairs, but my '69 winter 
beater has 175,000 miles on it and never overhauled. Still a strong running 
engine with no oil burning problems.

I have decided to go ahead and get the rings for my Rampside even though I
am not working and the truck is supposed to be on hold. I am tired of
waiting. My dilemma is this; just looking at prices I see STD cast rings for
$22.00, chrome for $100 more and Moly for another $15.00 over that. I
originally was going to go with Moly figuring get the best, do it once and
forget it. Now my finances are not great so I am rethinking it. Is it worth
the money?
