Title: Total seal second rings or stock rings
Post by: airstuff on December 29, 2008, 12:16:58 pm
Ok,so I am assembling my first 2276cc and now I need to know should I buy Total seal second rings,or should I just keep the rings as they come with the piston set.

I have red a lot of articles on the cal-look.com,about replacing the top ring with another chrome ring for faster break in.

I know this total seal rings are about 80 bucks,and there are some vendors on Samba selling them.

Thanks

you have to pull the very thin rings first like the other ones, then you can remove the ring with the holes...
