Chrome bores huh?? Whatcha got there, some nikasil rice rocket thing?? A outboard?? i'm confuzed:confused1 What kind of rings?? What material?
As a note to history...waaaaaaaayyy back when the first 265 Chevy motors first came into production, (All hail the mighty smallbock) they had a problem with the cylinder walls being too finely finished...the finish hone was with 800 grit...result was the rings wouldn't seat and they used oil like crazy...facing a major recall. Chevy turned to the engineer that headed up the project...a Mr. Zora Arcas Duntov...his solution to the problem was to slowly pour some "ZUD" cleanser (still available today) down the carb with the engine revved up, then go run the snot out of it...in most cases it worked well...true story....btw....the smallblock almost never got made....cadillac was slated to design the "new" chevy V-8:read:
