Will Ductile iron rings work OK here?
hpwdboss1 January 24th 2011, 11:36 am
I have all my parts and fresh hone job. Honed for moly-faced ring. 15.2 to 1 comp ratio, hi dynamic ratio, 118 racing fuel. Radiator and fan, electric water pump. All iron engine. 5700-5800 rpm, 15 seconds under load. 35-40 runs per summer. Will a ductile iron ring be sufficient here?

Just trying to figure if a moly faced , ductile iron ring will take the heat. I know I need the moly face, but will the ductile iron be up to the task? Back in the supercharged alky 
days we used steel rings, but this isn't on that kind of budget, hopefully.
