...Piston Rings are Lubricated by 'Splash' from the Crankshaft.
10 Hours at Idle!?

That is Not the Way to 'Seat' New Rings. In My Opinion. I was Always advised, when First Firing a Newly Built Engine, DO NOT Let it IDLE!! Run it in, with Differing RPM for 30 Minutes, and then take it out on the Highway and do the same for 100 Miles. DO NOT 'Lug' the Engine! Then come back and change the Oil.

I use TRW Forged and Coated Pistons with SpeedPro Chrome-Moly Rings. The TRW Installation Instructions state the Clearance at a Max. of .002"
