If one is going to the trouble of a rebuild that includes the rings, one should look at "zero gap" rings such as Childs & Albert or Total Seal. Blowby is supposedly reduced dramatically. FWIW, I have the C&A rings in my '57 Chevy (there were too many factors changed in that engine when I rebuilt it to say what contribution the C&A rings have).
