I've sold more rings than darn near anybody. I promise
First listen to what Mike said in the first response. If you are not using a rigid hone (like a Sunnen) you are just pretending to hone the cylinder...
Next is break in - - I am one of those that likes to see a series of moderate to heavy loads after cam break-in - - thats 8-10 2nd gear pulls to maybe 5000RPM and letting off the gas - - or a few equivalent dyno pulls. Rings need cylinder pressure to seat. No load RPM won't do a thing.
Then I dump the
oil and cut open the filter to look for evil things. If she looks OK - - fill the
oil & go out and beat the snot out of it! Its as good as it is gonna get.
Almost forgot - - I personally think gapless rings are useless. You car will be faster only because of the reduction in wallet weight.
