Rings these days are sent out from the manufacturer after they have been put thru a lapping process and freshly honed cylinder walls with the proper finish for the ring type used 90% of the time fully bed in during the 20 to 30 minute long cam break in session!
That dam Bon Ami / Comet trick some people always throw up and post about needs to be put to bed at this point in time without question!
Its from ancient times when compression ring faces where mainly hard Chrome and ruff finish cylinder walls where needed to bed the two in.
Bon Ami if added to a cylinder will go right to work to chew the Moly face off of your new rings, and even if it did by chance work somewhat it’s extremely uncontrollable and not to mention that it bonds to your spark plugs and makes them unusable!
Call up a tech person at any ring manufacturer and as soon as they hear the words Bon Aim , on your end you will hear a click as they hang up!
Also these days oiling the piss out of your new cylinder walls during assembly will only delay the minor amount of bed in that needs to take place.
All I have ever done for the last 30+ years is to wipe on enough of a ATF film to keep cylinder wall rust at bay and to lube the piston skirts, and I have never had a ring break in issue .
