What gas do you use?

Re: What gas do you use?

7% or higher huh? well seeing as how normal is 12-18% for our engine and anything over 30% requires service, kinda goofy.

rings have the gap for a reason. they need to be able to expand and contract.

i would imagine that the overlapping rings would expand and contract also. but i don't know. i figure instead of having a certain amount of space between each ends - - like so... im sure it just -_ overlaps. so one part would slide under the other part of the ring... correct? really i have no idea, haven't messed with rings yet. oh well, im sure somebody knows the answer=\...

Re: What gas do you use?

they look like this....



Thats how they over lap. Now those vs. new standard ones compession ratio I dont know. I was told by a ASE master tech who has takin all the ASE tests for ever feild that it raises it. Noticeably??? I doubt it. Now it wouldnt be from 9:1 to 10:1.

The total seal rings look like that or conventional? cause conventional doesn't look like that

Neither...What brand mine are I dont know. They were givin to me by a freind who didnt need them (decided to go with an 8). But that is what the ends of mine look like.

It said NEWLY conventional installed rings have leak down figures of 7% or more. So...maybe its correct. 7% (and worse) compared to straight 2% (unchanging) sounds awesome
but yer right, sounds too good to be true

correct, the pressure is still able to get behind the (mostly compression) ring in-order to expand the ring and seal the pressure inside the bore
