Re: question on rings ?
Napier style second rings help with oil control, and require less oil ring tension. Using a fish scale to measure drag, I've been down to 4.5lb drag, but got some blue smoke at times. 6 lbs seems to run just as fast, with no blue smoke. 4" bore.

Re: question on rings ?
If you're trying to get by cheap, just use correct size moly filled top ring with shim stock behind it to space ring close to edge fo ring land on piston. Use next undersize plain iron 2nd ring as is. Use next undersize oil ring expander with correct size oil rails. This works pretty good for cheap ring package on sbc.
