General advise to those who haven't rebuilt the engine yet, and want to go
out to 1380. Use "Total Seal" brand rings. The engine I put these in
developed ZERO blow by. It was the first A-series engine I ever owned that
wasn't pressurized and blowing oil. They were right at about $100 for a
full set of rings. Each ring is actually two rings, and you rotate the ring
end gap to at least 30 degrees from each other.
