Over on the Alfa list, one guy uses WD40 as his piston/ring lubricant
for all his engine rebuilds .. and he does a lot of them. WD40 allows
one to assembly everything but doesn't have much in the way of real
lubricating properties. The rings should set pretty fast.

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. Ken Asheville, NC |
