Question on Piston Ring chocies

[Quagmire]

In the middle of rebuild having bearing and piston ring choice delima. I am thinking acl race bearings or Clevite for bearings and Total seal moly piston ring set file to fit or should i get stock rings that are already filed?

Do not use Molly rings in an FI application which will get burned off due to the higher cylinder temps. Stick with iron or stainless steel.

AP Stainless Rings. You can even upgrade to a 2nd napier ring. But your looking at over 200 dollars for a set of piston rings.

I am using AP Stainless. Stay away from the Moly. They don't resist detonation very well at all.
