1-on-1 with Lake Speed Jr.

Total Seal Piston Rings' Lake Speed Jr. came to Akron, OH toward the end of 2020, and Engine Builder took the opportunity to sit down with him to discuss his new position at Total Seal, how his background in tribology has translated to rings, and what he sees happening in the industry today and beyond.

An excellent and informative interview! I have used Total Seal rings in every engine I've built since approximately 1985, when I first learned about their gapless ring design. In some of the newer BMW engines I've put together, I've had to send them OE 2nd rings to be modified for the gapless rail, but that still qualifies as a Total Seal "ring" inside those engines!
Come to think of it, my subscription to Engine Rebuilder Magazine dates back to about 1985 too! Keep up the good work guys, we never stop learning, and you're doing a great job of keeping us on the cutting edge of new technology.
