They destroy rings, especially new ones. Now if you could put a load on the engine, that's another story. But these make it too easy for you to start up your engine everytine s0me of the guys come over to visit, and every time you run it your ga lazing up the rings. Thr only way to fix this it to re hone the cylinders and replace the rings. Now if you want to run your engine stand, first install the engine in your car. Put 4-500 miles on it, and then put it into your engine stand.
Yup I agree. I put my money where my mouth is and backed myself. Built engine , install to car full hooked up, start, run hard, quick check nothing is leaking , jump in and give it some with plenty of load !
Now Im back to driving daily... ; )
