Re: Lapping piston rings
The Bon Ami deal was only something I heard about but did not remember how it was actually used. My apology for giving bad info there. 50 years ago is hard to remember. Makes more sense in the top of the engine and not in the oil. The stuff is abrasive and Pontiacs don't need any help with spinning bearings ....lol Total Seal sells a powder to use on your cylinder walls to help seat rings. I have used it. Maybe they heard about Bon Ami....!

Re: Lapping piston rings
For the guys who used top engine cleaner. Have you ever tried Ice Water? Basically do everything the same as top engine cleaner. Except use ice water.

I idon't know about ice water but I have seen guys crack the throttle open and shoot a garden hose down the carb. A little pre-teardown steam cleaning I guess.
