You have received some decent advice. I do not know if you installed new sleeves & pistons, had a sleeveless engine and had it rebored or just put a new set of rings in. The key item with a chrome top ring is to get a load on the engine. Also if you honed the cylinder walls to aid in seating a chrome ring set a little different finish is a must. A major engine manufacture once made the statement if you overhauled a diesel and it used oil and you pulled it down again and put another ring set in and then it worked fine you blamed the problem on the rings but the actual cause was the cylinder finish and the first ring set just made it smooth enough for the second set to work. Also if this was an inframe when you drain the first oil and you look at it you will be surprised. Questions?
