H-I-J '76 Nova re-fit.

During all the engine explosions we lost a nice set of rings I'm told, now I didn't know much about rings but I like to think I now know more, only a fraction, but more. And as the education continues I'm told that as much as 15% of total horsepower is lost to friction, which equates to a good bit. Now on to my comment, this engine had a set of speed pro rings that in the end I wasn't happy with but that's personal. I now have a set equivalent to the set we initially destroyed and I SO wish I had measured the engines resistance before it came apart because now it's way way easier to spin over with these rings.
