Lonnie, you may not have to replace that ring. Simply cleaning the ring and more importantly the piston groove can often do the job, but you probably know that.
Those never flown, bench run only engines often suffer from burnishing. Simply cleaning and flying has worked often. Those factory rings are pretty good over the long haul.
Most of my engines have never spent any time on test stands.
