Greg---I've seen the Total Seal Piston Ring ads, and wondered how they
work. The idea of not letting any of the combustion gasses get past the
rings sounds like a good idea. Still, we have aluminum pistons in a cast
iron block. It would seem that some ring gap is necessary as the pistons
and rings expand. I have never tried gaps of less than .010. Too
chicken.
Let us know if you get these and how they accomplish this no-gap setup.

rings
Hello List,
Is there any justification for using gapless piston rings in a daily
driver TR6? I noticed that Bob Lang mentioned blow by in his street
motor at a low mileage figure and was considering a winter rebuild.
