I don't plan on selling this bike as I love it too much, Nikasil is the
most expensive option, but is it the best? Yes by far especially
considering your above statement.


I was told that if I just bought a new ring, that the sharp edge might be
too hard on the worn chrome and cause further problems. Thoughts? This is
very true, the piston/cylinder wears together, leaving a ridge unique to
themselves, a different ring (used or new) will not match.



I have heard that if I put it togerher with just the used ring,
Not worth the risk, will end up with a broken ring.
