[SEL] Compression question

[Kerry]

Ron it will work no problems if you make sure the pit is properly clean 
with no oil etc. If you have an old ring or piece off. use it to scrape 
excess JB from the cylinder to reduce the amount of honing.

A little honing afterward should take all the epoxy out except what is nestled nicely in the pits.  It should be able to take the heat.  The rings cannot wear the epoxy past the level of the surrounding cast iron so it should not be worn away during use.  It should improve the compression.
