My shop finally called and the block cleaned up without needing to be bored, so the stock 351 2V dished pistons will be going back in. That being said, I have freshly honed walls and will be replacing the rings, so I am looking for advice for a driver/show car. Do I need Moly, Plasma Moly, or some basic cast iron? Also, is there a preferred manufacturer?
Any piston rings need to be plasma moly coated cast iron.
As always, thank you Royce. Now that I know they will go back in I started the cleanup. 1 down, 7 to go.
Check with the machine shop, ring materials require specific surface finishes. A plain iron ring uses a different finish than a moly coated or a chrome ring.
