Mitch-12 Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 you don't need them normal rings are better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) why not ;) Because gapless rings are normally atleast twice the price of normal rings. But if you can justify the difference in price then go for them. But from experience(I have em in my 5k) if everything isn't perfect it might breath pretty heavy(i think it rattled a bit when the injectors were too small and lost top ring tension)Not sure but think mine are "total seal". "Pacific engine parts" can convert your second ring to gapless. Or most speed shops that deal with "total seal" should be able to help. You could even try a different engine. But don't forget ring widths and radial depths can change a heap from engine to engine. Â Stu. Edited August 6, 2011 by kickn5k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ady Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 just get the pistons coated until there is a 0.000001" gap between piston & bore and forget about rings all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
