Smoking engine

[Colin Reed]

This topic was a few months ago covered under heading Oily Bores altho may not apply. Was a common problem with chrome rings.  Brasso or similar often added... unknown to the owner!
Mechanics acquire experience but do not know outcome of much their work.
From expereince with other makes the brand of ring seemed important, altho more scope for stiff rings with larger bores.
With iron rings I have always found  consumption acheived resonably early remains the minimum.
On engines known for oil burning inclination I placed a slight chamfer on top edge of all rings.
What do non bedded rings look like? Do all the turning lines  remain?

HI BOB,
          No Boring lines should remain after Honing.
          If they do Bad workman ship.
