Teddy, seriously, what's the story with this?
"Nobody knew how to break in a thin ring engine, and we must've stuck them ten times between the two 5/6 conversions."
How did the breakin processes differ?? Would the "thin ring" process be applicable today to, say, a Mc91x with a new piston & rings?
Also, "stuck" seems to mean different things to different people... To some, it means "spins freely but no compression; rings overheated & lost tension." To others, it means aluminum skid marks on cyl and locked up. What do you consider to be "stuck"?
