depends on the kit? Hyway's are pretty good in most kits. Meteors are good, Mako's are decent, Tecomec's are good... kits with split ductile rings are XXXX depending on who you speak with. I really believe its the bevel on the port openings that eat rings. Most rings are decent, some better quality rings use better cast iron.... Hyways are cast, Mako's are cast, Tecomec's are cast, Cabers are cast iron.Does you're kit have good rings considering I just ordered one?
I ordered weedeatermans kit on back order, Guess I'm getting CabersThose rings are crap. Randy sells his with Caber rings. These rings alone will give a 10-15psi increase in compression over the supplied rings.

Damn! How much compression should I have? This is after about 30 seconds of run time... About 170 psi. It should go up as the rings seat, right?View attachment 354760
Those rings run on the premise that with less ring touching, less wear occurs and that the material is slicker for less drag. It also claims to hold the oil better.
I've not run a set in a while... that looks pretty good.
Thanks!Yes, you can buy a Caber ring to fit the saw.
