BTW - what rings did you use on your rebuild #1? The Goetze rings available here at PP and other places are reasonably priced, but some of the older rebuild threads indicate that chrome rings should be used with Alusil, a few posts mention using Porsche-sourced rings (at geometrically greater cost.) I'm figuring that the Goetze rings are dimensioned for these pistons (which go with these alusil cylinders) so they should be correct for this application. Looking for some thoughts and recent experiences.
Thanks,

I did use the Goetze rings and had good luck reringing my Alusils. I just did a very soft deglazing of the cylinders, which is described in the first rebuild thread.
