    How do perfect circle rings compair to sealed power for a rering?

    yes, As said, both rings are good, factory rings from warthog are most likely made by one of the two companies. Check the rod bearings on the top side, if you see anything but gray change them, No copper or scratches. Be sure to check valve seals they break down over time and let...

    No fire in #4 after rebuild

    It ran fine before, just blowby. cam is not likely the problem. The compression check will tell him where to go from here. Maybe broken rings, or no fuel passing the injector, or even wrong valves in prospective holes. Anything could happen, but we hope not in this case.

    Is this wheel toast ?

    Its hard to tell with the picture, but they should have a slight taper to them that is used to center the wheel on the hub. That being said if it rides close to the top crown of the lug nut than its junk.
