Re: Reasons for rings not "Seating"

Yeah i know the break in methods by heart, but i was just wondering why a ring wouldnt seat, and what a properly seated ring is? Never heard of the cylinder wall being too smooth. And Steve you bring up a new term What is 45 Degree hone? I deglazed the cylinder with a plate style hone on the cylinder that had the bad piston.
Also when i install the pistons, should i use Oil or the Lubriplate lube on the walls? I was planning to use the luberiplate stuff on basically all metal to metal contact.
