(WE ON HONDA-TECH TOLD YOU SO!) </TD></TR></TABLE> From an older post!

Question? what grit hone stones are you gentlmen using on these engines? If the grit is too fine for the rings they will not seal no matter what the manufaturer. If the cross hatch angle is wrong you will have that same problems.

 

the rings supplied with my CP pistons sealed great , i get no blowby.
