<VV> Piston Rings

[BBRT]

Well, folks have been using cast iron rings for years without problems. 
Properly honed cylinders, properly end gapped rings should give a whole lot 
of miles if the oil is kept clean and the engine is kept tuned.  There have 
been a whole lot of very nice high mileage engines when pulled apart, have 
silky smooth cylinders and good compression.
