[Fot] TR6 Piston Rings

[van.mulders.marcel at telenet.be]

Total Seal is selling gapless rings, with 2 rings per land, but most of their rings are not gapless. So one has to state it if he wants the gapless rings.

Total Seal has worked well for me in an Acura Integra (ITA) and HP 948 Sprite. 

The critical factor is piston speed. Total Seal rings are thinner than most others (2 rings per land) and so are more prone to fluttering at high piston speeds. At street-range revs this should not be an issue in the TR6.

All set - TNX everyone. 

Follow-up: Is Total Seal a good solution for a street engine? I have zero experience with those.

Hi, 

I built an engine for a club member over the winter and the Grants rings failed during break-in. 

I'm looking for a set of Hastings or (maybe) Deves rings for TR6 with .030 over pistons. 

The vendors that I checked list the Hastings parts as back-order. 

I gotta get this freekin car out of my garage!!!
