Well I don't think so Rolson. I think it is highly possible the heat took the temper out of your rings, possibly even broke some rings. Cure's out of cans or bottles to undue the stress damage by a major over heating is just NOT a good way to look at the problem. Hate to say so, but I think you need a major engine redo, probably best achieved by replacing the whole engine. Forget your starter upgrade. That is mostly talk also. If your engine is close to being up to snuff, that Bosch starter and a good battery will do the job any day. And remember I said a good battery. It does take a good battery.
