MS 241 carnage and piston question

[blsnelling]

Generally I try to use the fcast on single ring and regular on doubles, though double thin rings I'll go either way.
Nothing definitive, just seems like it would make sense...

One vs two regular rings makes almost no difference at all on compression. I always run a single ring piston when I have the option. I wouldn't run an FCast ring in either scenario. IMHO, all they do is rob power through friction.

I hated trying to break in the F cast rings. Other than that I never tested to see if they are better or worse over regular rings

Meteor single ring pistons come with Fcast rings in factory boxes. Whether these are added by the individual dealers or not I'm not sure.

I never realized this until I saw the ring that said "F-Caber" on them.

Ive heard that they take longer to break in but seal better when they are broken in.

Back ordered bearing came in and it was a rainy day so I put the 241 back together.

How does it run?

Took a minute for the Mtronic to get used to running with good bearings again. Runs well so far.
