Moly rings or Not???
It's time to buy the rings for the rebuild and I do not know what to go for. Machine shop says cast rings will be fine, but I have always heard that Moly rings are the way to go. What do you guys think Moly or not to moly that is the question?
Also getting it internally balanced, waste of money?

I was curious because moly rings are the choice of most all engines rebuilt today. I've stuffed them in holes that I never thought would seal.and they have always sealed instantly for me. I have a boring bar & a honing tank and everything that goes with it. Perhaps your cylinders weren't finished, correctly, maby out of round, tapered, too much end gap. Your right that moly need a finer finish.I always clean cylnders with WD40 and a paper towl. before assembly, It's the best thing out there.soap & water wont cut it.
