Today, dollar for dollar, is the 318 faster than the 340 ???

Go look at what Total Seal offers. There are so many other options today it’s silly to use a moly ring. It’s not durable and even less durable when ring thickness goes under .062 like it should. Thick rings with a moly fill are obsolete.

I see plasma moly, moly, chrome, gas nitride and ductile iron. At least in my bore size. Total Seal doesn't offer anything.
