- I used them in the next to last rebuild of my motor. I would have used them again, but had a set of Deves rings on the shelf. I don't remember which ring land I had them in - whatever the instruction

- I installed Deves, modified by Total Seal, in my street/AutoX TR3, unfortunately I have not done a compression or leak down test since the first 500 miles. I have second ring only. Tony - Total Seal

- I believe everything drag racers tell me about horsepower and nothing about what they tell me about handling. Nobody knows more about ponies than the straight line guys.
