The main reason I went with me rings was low compression numbers during testing and seeing blow by coming out of the oil fill tube. This isn't my first engine as I've built several over the years, just not a straight 8 on an old 6 volt system. I'm not sure what the RPM should be for a good strong starter but even before I replaced the rings it wasn't really flinging the engine over that fast. I did go through and thoroughly clean the ring grooves of carbon build up as well. Also when I had pulled the old rings of they just didn't feel like they had that much spring to them.
