Addition to honing question. I just noticed that only my new top ring has the plasma-moly surface. The 2nd ring is cast iron and the third, oil ring, is SS. So do the grit recomendation stay the same? It sounds like for plasma you want in the area of a #280 grit but for the cast iron I think it is more like #200-#240. So which grit to concern myself with?

BTW my rings are Sealed Power although the box say's Speed Pro.
"Piston Rings, Plasma-Moly, 4.250 in. Bore, 1/16 in., 1/16 in., 3/16 in. Thickness, 8-Cylinder, Set of 8"



Thanks guys,

Mike
