170,000 km on the motor = 105,633.103 miles.Rings are way cheaper to do now, than later.At that mileage, I would advise seriously thinking about checking the cylinder wall condition. And also the main and rod bearings. You will have the heads off anyway right ?
Looks like a real nice pickup though.
Hey Louey-it would give ya a idea of the condition of the rings too.I agree a mod is only as good as the weakest link.But there again has been many top haft mods done successfully on engines that where qualified as being in decent shape.I just ask myself how many rods on this site have 105,000 miles on them or more since built??.I would guess thousands of them.Again the oil pressure check could give him somewhat of the condition of the rod and main bearings.
