Seth- one thing on those rings- they're .002" oversize. That way you can retrofit a used cylinder. Just make sure you have .004" end gap and you'll be good to go for your piston ring pin. Should be a decent set-up for alky.

Seth, I have seen those streaks a lot in soft maple, but never heard them called worm tracks. Are they actually caused by worms? I have never seen any holes along with them.

 

[Sethro]

wormtract Is actally not caused buy worms. I am not for sure what causes it. but it is sound, we don't down grade boards with wormtract in it. Then there is fleck and bird peck whitch we do down grade. Seth

[Sethro]

I split them with a 044 with a 28" bar or 084 with 42" west coaster
