RE: difference between OS .46 FX ABC and OS .46 FX ringed...
I got a free 46FX from a friend years ago. He broke it in wrong and ruined it. It never would turn a 10x6 over about 8500RPM.
I swapped the piston and cylinder out for the heli parts. Ringed piston, new liner, wrist pin and clips. It ran just great. All the ports are in the same spot. Same exhaust and transfer port timing and duration.
