FAQ

The kit includes rings, pins, and clips, but you must bore/hone the block to .020" and measure all clearances.

CC = Coated & Chamfered. FCC adds .100" fly-cut valve reliefs for high-lift cams while retaining coatings and chamfers.

They include a matched ring set. If you change ring style or end gap targets, consult your machinist and cam/boost plan.
