Default Re: Compression on motor question.....

What kind of piston rings? Moly or iron? Iron seat easier than Moly rings. Give it 500 miles at least. A leak down test would be appropriate at this point. See if it's leaking at the valve guide or into the crankcase. Moly rings need a certain cross hatch pattern to seal good. Also are they file to fit rings?
