Compisition of OEM rings
What are OEM rings made out of? The machinist I was working with wanted to know if I was using chrome, moly or cast. He said it affects how he hones the cylinders. Chrome and moly are different? I thought I've heard of chromoly?

Re: Compisition of OEM rings (1stGENGSR)
OE B18 rings are a steel top ring with a chrome plated barrel face.
The second ring is a napier style (has a cut on the bottom outer edge) cast iron ring.
The oil ring is a 3 piece deal with a expander that waves in and out as opposed to up and down like a Hastings flex vent.
Generally OE Honda rings require a very smooth bore finish as prescribed by the Helms manual.
