The final step is the an-30 paste… it wipes the aluminum away and helps expose the silica the paste is applied to felt pads .. i would do this before putting rings in .. as long as there is no ridges scoring think of it as waxing.. nothing special about the machine you can get the pads for a handheld drill type hone..
Has anyone here changed the piston rings without doing the alusil treatment?
could you change the rings without touching the shirts? ,Thank you
I guess it depends. Maybe you could provide a little bit more info here. Are you changing rings because of poor compression or a broken ring? How many miles on the engine? What's your budget and goal? Why did you open up this engine?
If your bores are not scored and compression is good, you should just keep the rings you have. You could install new rings if you have no scoring. It will run fine. It's not usually done this way for a performance build, but for a budget build it would be fine to just install new rings.
I am going to change the bushings and make the cylinder head, the engine works well and I would like to change the rings, there are no scratches and understanding well
