Title: Piston Rings Post by: louisb on November 22, 2007, 16:25:26 pm What is the current thoughts on piston rings? Total seal 2nd still the way to go? How about top and oil? Stock Mahle or? P&Cs will be 94B Mahle. (street car) I have heard of problems with getting TS rings to seal.

Title: Re: Piston Rings Post by: louisb on November 22, 2007, 18:24:36 pm Yeah I keep seeing that name pop up on different forums. Also Deves. The stock mahle rings are chromoly and I hear they can be hard to seat. Also, I think Berg recommends honing to AN500 for their rings.
