No,the 2% figure for leakdown is with the gapless rings. The ad I saw and
may be misremembering said something like 5-7% leakdown for a new engine
with conventional rings, which will jump to 10-15% after several races or
several hundred miles. The Total Seal engine, however, will start around 2%
and stay there.
