with the top end problems on the RP here, I did for a split second think about re tempering the rings in it for shits and giggles.
My man, who makes his own rings (non IC applications) tells me if they are heated to beyond the critical temp they also grow, which means the gap is reduced. Which if excessive might be good. But it does mean they are not quite as round as they were before, and need a lot of descaling. So they will need a good bit of running in.
Given until I take it apart, I don't actually know what is wrong, that is where I left it.
My view is unless your leaving clouds of blue smoke, wait till the winter to mess with it.
