Nice info. Just one historical note: early ‘70 is a little off the mark, say be a half-century? The use of combustion pressure to exert radial pressure and push low-tension rings against the bores has be thoroughly documented by Harry Ricardo in… 1924. See “The High-Speed Internal-Combustion Engine” by Sir Harry R. Ricardo 😌
Awesome video and information. Does the ring end gap tolerance remain the same, about .004 per inch of bore with these rings. Thanks guys keep it up. Happy new year
Thank you, Tim! Yes, ring gaps will stay the same and base them off your specific application on the chart supplied by Total Seal or your piston manufacturer.
please have him back.... Lake was awesome to listen to.
Thank you for watching! We agree, Lake is awesome at explaining things. I am sure we will have him back soon!
Pressure Paths,, Chip Barret-Smith used these in his road racing tunnel port 302 Ford, 1972

So I guess now I'm calling up Total Seal to talk oil
Do these gas ported piston rings work well with E85 with a 225 shot of nitrous?
Delicious......
lake no's what he is talking about
