Fellow Listers,
The County pistons from our current suppliers have grooves for 5 rings. 
Should all 5 be installed? My engine builder says that 5 rings is 
overkill and causes piston drag which results in loss of power and gas 
mileage. What is your opinion? How many rings should I use?
Thanks in advance,
Elton, BJ7
