Summit 8601, Valvoline 10w40, Rislone ZDDP ( 1500ppm) and yes when I first built the motor ('o2) it was clean. The debris I have now is from the cam meltdown. I didn't think I would need to be concerned about rings but wanted to be sure. Obviously if there is some anomaly in the cylinders I'll address that.]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2012 23:39:51 +0000 http://theamcforum.com/forum/new-rings_topic38813_post354270.html#354270 http://theamcforum.com/forum/new-rings_topic38813_post354238.html#354238 Author: 73hornut

Hard to believe this is still happening. I would definitely pull it down and flush everything. I imagine , if it's lows miles, that you should only need bearings. What cam are you running, and what oil and zinc additive? When you built the engine, did you run brushes though all the bores to make sure the passages were clean of debris?]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2012 22:10:09 +0000 http://theamcforum.com/forum/new-rings_topic38813_post354238.html#354238 http://theamcforum.com/forum/new-rings_topic38813_post354231.html#354231 Author: BDCVG

So I ate another camshaft which has left so much crap in the motor I'm pulling it for cleaning and to check bearings. If there is no damage to the crank I will replace the bearings with whatever is in there now.(i can't remember). Should I plan on new rings and a fresh hone? or just keep using the existing rings? My compression has been good with normal oil consumption.]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:24:58 +0000 http://theamcforum.com/forum/new-rings_topic38813_post354118.html#354118
