I've stripped the engine and I'm now ready to rebuild. Rings, which ones are people using, are the standard cheapy jobs worth a try ? Whats the best way to put them on ?

Engine will have DGAS weber and standard cam so nothing outrageous on the power front.

just stripped my pinto, as the bores were only slightly worn (approx 50% of limit in haynes manual) I am leaving original rings. (didn't remove pistons) The 2 Big Ends & 1 mains I dropped were 100%, only wear was on cam probably from extended / infrequent service intervals, oil pump hardly worn.
So just purchased std replacement cam kit.
One word of Warning:- If you put new rings in a stepped / worn bore you will have to chamfer the top ring or the sharp edge may cause the ring to break as it just hits the slight ridge at the top of the bore. If you have'nt removed the rings and bores are within wear limits & no broken rings just put it back together.
You can get oil control ring sets for worn engines, ask an engine rebuilder for advice.
You will need a piston ring commpressor or some thin shim steel or cut up a suitable can & a couple of big Jubilee clips to compress the rings.

Pinto's eat cams

If you put new rings in buy or borrow a glazebuster and scuff the bores before you put them in.

in the engine and transmission section! i suspect many knowledgeable people only skim a few of the sections.

yes, your absolutely right, I hadn't spotted that ! I'll repost and see what happens !
