Reply to "Piston rings glazed"

Yes thats right George! In fact , we did a lot of engines in the past and always use mahle rings. When the oil preassure is ok, it was always ok , when audi or bmw or toyota engines were running longer times on idle. Sometimes , I let them run a few secounds at high rpm , but most of the time they run idle . Thats what I did in the past and I had never a problem like this.
Normaly, when I repair a engine, I buy the parts from Rothmund and the sales agend give me the "good stuff". Never had piston rings, wich do no compression , when they are new , or running for a few hours!? For only 20 bucks more they sell moly rings, so why they sell "cast" -rings ?

All the work 4 nothing - ok this time I use moly rings , and will drive with the car for brakein. Maybe a carburated engine is diffrent to modern engine.
What rings would you suggest ? Does somebody drive cast rings ? Thanks
