And, what is that specific reason, pray tell?
Sorry to the OP for the derailing.

As you point out it's all about cyl wall prep for the type of ring used..can't stress that enough. The Moly coated ring is more susceptible to damage regarding detonation. Not the ring as a whole, but rather the coating.Coarse hone for iron rings and finer hone for moly rings. On my 3 stone hone it's 240 grit for iron and 320 grit for moly. Iron breaks in faster but wears out faster, moly takes more time to seat but wears better. I'm not sure which is better more resistant to detonation in terms of failure.
Yeah,I studied the rule book long and hard and if it didn't say I couldn't do something I did it. They actually made a rule for one of my tricks. We had five karts I was building motors for and they all came in at the front of the pack. Not all of it was motors,we learned to drive on a 1/16 mile egg shaped bull ring with one straight that a neighbor and his son beat out in his back yard. Then we got sick and put down clay and bought sidewinder karts. Had a flag stand that was a flying bridge off a boat and a grandstand made out of steel mobile home steps and 2 X 12's. We'd race all day then pig out and get drunk,,,,good times!Karts are very popular here
https://fishelmotorsports.com/ less than mile up the street, track is a few miles away. I've been in and out of there with friends and co workers. . Buys 10 engines at a time, tear them all down, measure and blueprint everything and maybe comes up with 2 or 3 competitive engines. Angle mill this or that. Dude's are nuts looking for a 1/2 ounce of power. Nascar serious. Painted quite a few Karts and painted quite a few sets of engine tins for P&P Speed.

And, what is that specific reason, pray tell?There's a reason pretty much every real race car has a dry sump engine.

I asked you to answer, ain't watching some more clickbait movies; please answer/explain in your own words how it is that "there's a reason pretty much every real race car has a dry sump engine" ?
I want you to go to a roundy-round "claimer" race, get on the mic, and tell them they are not racing real race cars. Get ready for a stampede fron the stands and racers. lol You can't get much more real race car than a modified, cut up, and caged one until you go full chassis. GM makes a sealed crate engine with a wet sump pan for those types of classes.I don't work for you. Google it.

Lotsa guys wreck their first engine build, and generally it's because they don't understand how clean things need to be.stock 1994 5.7L build, my very first engine build
Bi-metal or tri-metal makes little difference in a stock-ish build. GM uses bi-metal, or at least they used to.I’m still really indecisive on what bearings and rings to use in this build.
Yup, & danged fortunate for both of us. That yellow C8 at COTA --- that's not Really a race car either, even though it was delivered w/ dry sump --- as is every C8 ---do ya think a dry sump = real race car?I don't work for you. Google it.
