Me too. There is some argument that if you don't oil the rings you will get
better scuffing and wear on the rings. I think that there is enough scuffing
through regular use of starting when the oil has seeped to the pan.
I oil slightly to help the rings slide into the cylinder and for initial
start up.

I have always used a little oil when installing pistons in new or old
cylinders.

This is the first time I've written on this list, but I have a question.
I'm putting the top end on in the morning on a 72 Eldo.
I have a new cyl. piston set and I've never done an aircooled motor
before.
I was told to leave the rings dry,is this right? I alwayspistons & ringsbrand rims onto
in oil on watercooled engines.
I have new Gilrdoni kits.
If I don't get an answer I think I'll oil them.
Cheers

I had SRM Engineering in Wales lace a set of 19" "Morad"perfect matcha customers Falcone just over a year ago. They're nearly aabout half thefor Borrani flanged rims and SRM did an excellent job atrims to spec.cost of what I was quoted in the US. That may have changed since the
exchange rate is less favorable now. They drill the blankthere are newand may have 16" ones available. From what I've heard Morad is the
former Akront factory under new owners.
