What about the egay Hastings moly chrome rings? What about the Nippon *****? My weisco .5 over pistons came with no rings and I'm debating spending the $200 on the Total Seal Piston Rings. I only want to build the block once.

Who would spend $200 on rings Weiscos with rings are $405 from no limit motorsports. Id call them and give them the part # for ur pistons and get the right rings for them probably like $70ish
