Default Ring type for 60hp thin wall cylinder sleeves

I have an NOS replacement 60hp block with factory thin wall sleeves. What type of rings work best running in the steel sleeves. Someone here had stated they require a certain ring type. I have Hastings #123, Ford 82A-6149A, and some Ford 82AS-6149A for cast steel pistons on hand. I have both cast steel and aluminum T slot pistons. Also what would be the best Brush ball hone grit to use on the steel sleeves.

Go to brush research web page look up the flex hone for your bore size and you are done .Real easy to do.Then flex hone it with oil,wash the cyl walls with non grit hand cleaner.Wash again with hot soap and water and then dry off and check the wall for cleanliness and finally wipe out cyl with wd40 and you are done.Hastings 123 will work just fine if they are newer and not real old old stock.
