Hemi Question, What would you do

And, thinking back to the early 70's, the rings wanted a long time to seat, like stated. and would just run like crap, and smoke, if putt putted around. I worked at a gas station/mech shop. A woman that had a 67 gtx hemi,(husband on deplotment), bought gas there, then complain about the engine, drop it off fore a tune-up.

Like all they cars in that neighborhood, carboned up; owner would tell me to try to blow it out first. So, take it out 20 miles on I-10, then start some fun, blowing crap out, engine loved it. But, hers was burning oil too. Until several episodes of me having fun, and getting paid for it.

Then it stopped burning oil.. Maybe from a dead stop and getting to 130 real fast seated the rings? It takes combustion pressure to make the rings come out of the piston grooves, and push on the cylinder wall.

I've had my last 340 do that. Needed a piston and rings. Fire it up, oil smoke, rev heck out of it; rings won't seat. Drive it, and dog it, put the load on the rings? Fine now.
