Piston Rings - Which make?

(1/3) > >>

philward:
Just stripped the engine I have for the CR750 project. Overall everything looks good - ie mains and big ends. So will be replacing normal cam chain train parts (with original genuine Honda rollers/etc), primary chains, valve springs, etc. I havn't measured the bores/pistons yet but look ok and envisage that I'll either be just changing rings or maybe next size rebore.
Question to everybody is:- What make of rings would be a recommendation? I seem to remember Trig saying don't use genuine Honda due to oil control ring design being inferior to good quality proprietary makes. I have a 836 Cruz Image kit on my standard K2 and all well at about 800 miles (Hondaman on US site commented that they where ok - which was why I bought them at the good price). 
Also, what make of valve springs?
May need more bits when I start mic-ing up bits but I know the above would be the minimum.
Any views much appreciated
Phil

I am using OEM but, not with the single oil ring, cruzin and rings supplied by IMD at the moment.
The engine must of done some work to need valve springs.

I'm just assuming it needing valve springs - havn't stripped head down yet but just doing pre-buying research.
Ref pistons - what your proffesional opinion on IMD pistons?

Trigger:
I bit pricy compared to Cruzin that do a full set for the price of a set of rings from IMD. Never had any problems with cruzin or IMD.
