I should have explained better. Chrome is oem and will last the longest however its harder to get to seal. Like if you plan to have your block sent out and properly bored and/or honed, then sure. However I rebuild my motor still in the truck with the crank still in. I honed it with a harbor freight hone and $15 drill. I have perfect compression and oil pressure. So depends on your needs.

Plus regarding lifespan, I still think the moly rings will outlast a head gasket, so if the headgasket goes, your already 3/4 the way in for a re-ring.


What brand of rings did you run? I have always had good results running either Sealed Power of Hastings. Looks like Randy (aka Dad) has most important parts. Were you able to reuse your old pistons or did you go for new ones? I'm assuming this was for a 87-89 2.6?

I have a spare 2.6 that I might be getting back on the engine stand.
