[Fot] Spitfire 1300 Piston Rings

[Joe Boruch]

 I would not recommend rings patterned from the factory GT6 pistons.  Ring technology has changed significantly since the GT6 was developed.  As others suggested talk to JE or Total Seal.  I have heard mixed results with the gapless rings, so you may want to stay away from those.  JoeB

 Hello Amici,
A discussion with my machine shop man led to some thoughts about piston ring 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 the factory (GT6) pistons I currently have in the car?
Your thoughts are appreciated!
