Doing it right the first time

Good that you are starting with fresh bores; excess bore taper will kill rings in a hurry. More than a few thousandths of taper is getting enough to start that problem; .005" taper is a service limit and is too darned high in my book. You just have to bore and start fresh if you have too much taper. Excess bore out-of round: same story.

Is this for mostly street use ? If so, just go with a good set of moly top rings and standard rings the rest of the way. I've hammered on my rally and street engines with this type or of rings and never had issues even at 1.75 Hp per ci turbo'd. Piston ring seal all seems to work consistently and reliably if you start with good bore quality: straight and the right finish and proper piston-to-bore clearance. Make sure your machinist knows the rings so he can put in the right hone finish.

BTW, chrome top rings are known to be hard to seat. Total Seals are not worth the hassle in my 1 experience; I am sure they have a place in some racing discipline, but not for 1 to 1.2 HP per ci engines for general street and occasional race use.
