[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 14879631, member: 8854"] Russ I don't claim to know the specifics either but everywhere I'm going now I'm finding gapless top ring only. 2nd ring gapped equal or bigger to top ring. Pressure build up between rings appears to be a real thing and causes the top ring to flutter or loose seal. Another issue I've seen is keeping the oil down and prevent any from entering the combustion chamber and causing detonation. Apparently a gapless top works perfect for that too as the 2nd compression ring essentially doubles as an oil ring too. Yup basically the same info I'm finding too. Gapless top ring. It leaves me confused why the Total Seal tech was telling me 2nd ring gapless. Unless he was just having an off day and said the wrong thing but wow what a mistake to make. I tried calling back today but they're closed so I'll have to wait till Monday. [/QUOTE]
