Hi,Please continue. This is interesting, I've thought about this as a way to save weight and inproving cooling. I've been reading about what heat can do to rings and seeing the results on engines I've torn down. On your engine will you use stock rings? What will the tolerances be?
Hello, I happened upon some used,and nos parts. So.yes std.rings.std. gaps.
There is also an aftermarket ring guy that many here use.
