Gotcha, sealed power flattops are just as good as the 167s for less coin, plus there are no ring issues w newbies trying to assemble. So the stock cast rings in the sealed power piston kits should be perfectly fine then? Just check end gap prior to assembly, and side gap once on the piston.
As an aside couldent you use a different manufacturers rings with the 167s if you decided to use those pistons. Now dont get me wrong, once i saw the price on the 526 pistons with cast rings i said Haaaaay thats a nice price. Just bringing this up in case somebody here has a set of 167s they havent put in yet, and may be unaware of the issues with the rings that come with those
