- Hello List, Is there any justification for using gapless piston rings in a daily driver TR6? I noticed that Bob Lang mentioned blow by in his street motor at a low mileage figure and was considering

- Greg--I've seen the Total Seal Piston Ring ads, and wondered how they work. The idea of not letting any of the combustion gasses get past the rings sounds like a good idea. Still, we have aluminum pi
