The new guy is ok. It's pompous folks that are the problem. Ooops... sorry about that. I'll have to delete my own post.
bob8619: I've owned that engine but never replaced the rings. I would guess that it would ge good to seat the new rings in.. and it certainly cannot do any harm to run a couple of tanks of fuel through it to make sure that they are seated properly. The cost is a few dollars worth of fuel and about an hour of your time. Wait... fuel IS expensive...

just kidding.. I hope you appreciate humor.
