Speaking of rings... Not to get off Spridget topics, but I ordered a set
of pistons from Moss for my BN2 engine rebuild. They sent me the cheapest
set of pistons with the cheapest set of rings I have ever seen. Four
plain alloy pistons with just four plain square rings above the wrist pin.
I guess I am not going to be politically correct with this engine. Going
to see some blue smoke once in a while.
