more than most, less than a lot of others. it's not about what i like. it's about what is correct for the application, what fits the budget, the overall build plan and availability.
i like light, forged pistons with modern, thin ring packs. but that might not be what's on the menu, so some cast iron tractor rings will have to suffice. and they'll be fine for what ever it is that's being built.
Finding the appropriate pistons and rings for the intended use and budget is where the bannana peel hits the sidewalk. Sometimes availability trips us up and usually the budget whacks us upside the head.
