Hello Amici,
A discussion with my machine shop man led to some thoughts about piston rin=
g selection.
He recommended getting in touch with Total Seal. I of course took a look at=
their website to discover a mind boggling selection of ring types.
Can any of you share your ring choices?
I will be having JE Pistons make a custom set of forged pistons for me.
I am in need of ring thickness dimensions as well. Should this come from th=
e factory (GT6) pistons I currently have in the car?
Your thoughts are appreciated!
