okay i have a b20 and i put in new rings on it but beleive that they havent seated.. the rings are chrome-moly and I did not take the block to get honed/ deglazed.. which i have now found out was a big mistake... but i was told there is something you can put in your intake to help them seat some1 said kinda like sawdust??? anybody have any idea???? what i can do to seat the rings and not have to disassemble my engine again? i have about 3500 miles on it and it seems to still get blowby

help!!!! thanksss

 

anybody?

 

just drive it around at diff. rpms..just dont stay at a certain rpm bcuzz it might glaz the cylinder walls

 

The rings will not seat any further. Have you performed a leakdown or a compression test???

 

If im not mistaken chrome rings are very hard and require a more aggressive crosshatch to help them seal compared to conventional iron rings...

Do a leakdown test and see if your rings are leaking...You MIGHT be able to get away with running a flex ball hone and re-ring it with regular iron rings...
Good Luck!!

 

your also running non-detergant 30w oil right? thats helps

 

yes that exactly what i was told and well i heard about it too late.. um im running 10w30 oil... i plan on doing a compression test but the thing is i dont know where my compression numbers should be at. i have arias 11.8:1 compression pistons... and well by turning the crank with a wrench i can tell im no where near where it should be.. i think the crank is little easier to turn than my old worn b18b.. thats kinda where im basing myself off of... so anybody heard of some stuff to put in your motor to help the rings seal???
