A friend of mine was building a hot 460 Stihl,wanted my help and had a new aftermarket piston and cyl.,I'd never saw one of these before but wow,the ports were really badly cast,terrible,it took more work just to clean them up that the actual porting work. Probably fine for a stock replacement,but I agree,I would not risk cheap rings,I would replace them with factory.
Experience builds real horsepower...
