heard and read the dry ring theory that Ian talked about but can attest
to the success of many motors and miles over 38 years of oiling those
rings when doing a top end. I'm with Ian...they'll get plenty scuffed up
and ease of install is high on my list.

I have in the past always oiled the rings & cylinder wall slightly. This time
around I went with the dry theory, because my rings on the race bike will
only have a few miles on them when I show up at the track. I want all the
scuffing I can get in a short period of time.
I'll let everyone know how it works out.
