What brand of piston rings would be recommended for 3.0 sc engine
 
I am rebuilding a 3.0SC engine what rings would be best for a street engine. I was going to use Deves rings.

Deves rings in Nikasil or Alusil cylinders is an unmitigated disaster.

Use the OEM Goetze ring package.

Deves vs Goetz
 
Steve, I used Deves before haven't noticed any difference. What's been your experience with Deves. I have used Goetz and they also seem to work okay.
I would appreciate your input on this. Thank you

My experience with Deves rings in Nikasil cylinders was excessive oil burning, unacceptable leakdowns, and in some cases, damaged plating. Tried them several times to make sure it wasn't an anomoly.

Now, I only use Goetze or Total Seals in certain applications.
