    Modern Engines = no break in

    Also the type of ring matters, ts ring sets want a curtain finish, stock rings don't really care. The high and low spots in the cylinder walls are abrasive to the rings, break in is seen as more honing. Race motors use thin light rings and don't have time to seat like thick heavy rings do...
