A day or so ago I sent an email to boygofast for piston rings, and today got a response. I told him a little about this discussion and he sent a great letter back saying he has worked for 3 years to give good motors at a good price and still good service. The demanding customer with no patience or explanation of the problem is a hard one to deal with. Well it was long but this jives with what some here have said.
