Piston rings choices

[JustAnotherVictim]

I was looking at piston ring options and I was trying to decide whether I should go Toyota or Clevite. I have a friend who can get me discounts on the Clevite stuff. I was looking at these other rings to try and figure out if there was some kind of benefit to them. I was planning on only going for maybe a little over 400hp.

Words to run screaming from in a 7M rebuild re:rings

Hard Chromed!

Apart from that most ring sets will work fine!

Ok, I should have just pm'd you knowing you would answer
If I could buy indivual ring sets from toyota I would cuz I have a set of four unused toyota rings from another rebuild but getting another set would leave me with four extra again :3d_frown:

Thanks IJ

Out of morbid curiousity, why are they bad?

 

[IJ.]

Our blocks are very hard Cast Iron and the rings are hard so they tend to glaze the bore instead of breakin/seat.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

Well I'd say that's a good reason.
Thanks again
