cast Pr3 Vs. spray?
well my ls-v's pretty much ready to be assembled. just had a few questions tho...
im using media blasted pr3's on shotpeened arp'd rods, will a napier style honda ring be the best option or with a good set of moly/ plasma moly ring pack be better? it is a n/a setup but i wanna know if anyone has sprayed these pistons before and how they did? if anything it will be a nx wet setup 75 shot MAX, of course on good fuel some 100 and good timing pulled.. oh yeah if u say just buy forged pistons; ---- you i got them in my race car, this is just a daily. Thanks NiG-NoGGs

Wow that build list is backwards as ----. Your neighbor rubs off on you, n00b.
Shot peened - useless
ARP fasteners - useless
Comparing some aftermarket moly coated ring meant for quick break in on a mass production car to a stock napier ring that is still coated on a mass production car - useless.
What you need to be worried about are your piston to wall and ring end gap clearances, followed shortly after by your bore's finish. If you have a dumb machinist who doesn't know what you are talking about when you mention a hardened ring like the JEs, who understands the hone needs to be very coarse, just nod your head and buy a non-chinese moly ring. For a street car there's not going to be a large amount of difference; the biggest difference is it's going to take a lot longer for a hardened ring to seat and the bore to break in and you need to be a little gentler on break in.
As for what to spray? A stock LS rod, correctly clearanced PR3 piston build with ITR or better cam, meh, 200 shot or go home. It's what one of my friends lays down on his PR3 piston/403 cam/stock rod LS.
