Ring vs cylinder wall hardness
Has anyone come up with the ring hardness in relation to cylinder wall hardness and what is best?

Re: Ring vs cylinder wall hardness
The real thing cylinder wall hardness affects is how you hone the bores and what stone you use, also what honing oil and pressure you use on the honing stones!

Re: Ring vs cylinder wall hardness
Many years ago, Tony Feil would hone our S/S blocks to a mirror finish for the .043 moly filled top rings.
After a while we wanted to try the stainless dykes. Tony said we had to hone the blocks to the standard cross hatch pattern. What does that tell you ?

Check out the videos of the Engine Performance Expo Series that was put on by Total Seal and Rottler. Here are a couple on cylinder wall finish considerations.
