This is great info for race engine builders but what about guys building engines in their garage hoping to get 100,000 miles out of one? Many new car manufacturers are having major blow by and oil consumption issues with ultra thin low tension rings on really short pistons... how are we sposed to know if our local machine shop did our block with a good hone job? We can't test this stuff... do you think we should be stocking to thicker rings if we have no way of knowing what they are doing as a safety margin for our engines?
New OE engines have substantially opened clearances for small turbo engines to account for piston expansion under load. We’ve dropped oil viscosity substantially which tends to stay suspended in vapor form in the air inside the crankcase. Combine this with a metered, continuously open orifice instead of a PCV valve that would vary depending on vacuum conditions and you have a perfect situation for vacuuming oil out of the crankcase on every new engine. OEM’s are getting worse at making cars every year now.
Car mfg quite often cut corners to save money, if for instance the oil consumption gets too high then they start using stress plates, measure more carefully etc. I used to work with OEM engines and I've heard behind the scene stories from a lot of different mfg. Point is, ask the shop what they use in terms of equipment, and don't let anyone talk you out of needing it (including your wallet). 😉

I know i will probably get laughed at but when I built my 12 3.7 engine before going procharged. I picked up 6whp/9ft going to total seal rings on my manley pistons. What I was more impressed with was how little blow by Ive had running my procharger. 444whp on 6 psi. Through a 6r80. I used hasting rings before total seal it was night and day difference on blow by.
@@simbanugz2906Nothing wrong with that. I remember a time in my life when 4 cylinder fox body was the car to have! For 6th grade I moved onto trucks being the most rad. 🎉 If it works for you and you’re happy with it that’s what matters. I haven’t been around engines like that much but those numbers seem pretty decent. I like what you said about the blow by. Was the price worth the gains for you?
That's great for Money no object Racing.. I used total seal in some of my Engines, and have no quip about them, but for my budget built 14:1 compression pump fuel daily driver sbc combo, I'm still going too choose the $40-$60 ring set and pocket the $540 change and use the money elsewhere thanks.
If you use thinner rings with gas porting on the rings is the piston clearance more important and particular? Will a loose piston with thinner rings cause more damage than a loose piston with thicker rings. For a race application it won’t matter but for longer runs like a daily driver, is there an issue with incorrect or loose pistons running the gas ported thinner rings? Will they break easier?
I’m blown away guys! I would like some details of the honing process for this ring pack. I’m assuming the gas porting along with the special plating process on these rings would make for a long lived engine. Especially given the lower cylinder bore wear. OEM manufacturers use a thinner lighter tension ring pack but I doubt they have the porting and special plating process you have due to the cost factor. All it takes is the consumer to extend oil changes and use the wrong oil and you have a recipe for disaster in any modern engine.
Is this gas ported 0.9mm ring set available for Chevy LS1 engines with 99mm or 100mm pistons? Is a custom piston required to accommodate these thinner rings? Where do I find someone to do the correct hone for these rings in California?
Been using.08 mm in my super stock Olds engine for a while,used them in my SB as well,ran the fastest with a ball hone and a steel ring that had been in the engine for 2 ball hones, that's cost-effective , can i get a discount on my next set, August says i can, thanks for great rings and great service!!
When I got into NASCAR, because we had THE only west coast track, RIR, and I saw all kinds of racing there, not just NASCAR, they used Perfect Circle piston rings. Just looked this up now! "Perfect Circle piston rings are now essentially known as MAHLE piston rings, as the Perfect Circle company was acquired by MAHLE and the brand is now marketed under the MAHLE name, particularly for piston rings; meaning if you're looking for "Perfect Circle" piston rings, you're likely looking for MAHLE products today"
Incredible. If one day the engine of my daily car needs to be rebuild, I will research if these 0.9 mm piston rings could be compatible with my engine.
We arnt all 400hp V8 centric viewers, its would always be nice to hear a % improvement. Then we can maybe extratrapolate the rough benefits to our own power source when considering which rings to buy. (The power graph is at 19.33) , 4% increase? would you expect engine of 100hp and a 1000hp to get a similar 4% gain? would a 4 cylinder have more or less to gain than a V12?
So lake what kind of difference do you think you would see with a sumebore over the rottler bore?Also would the thinner rings work with mild amount of nitrous assuming you gapped them correctly?
Great information about ring selection!! When I upgrade my dual plug 4.7 to forged pistons, I'll deff be upgrading the ring as well... Was thinking about getting the mahle power pack pistons but nothing listed for a sub 4" bore... 3.71 I gonna be difficult I think as most v8s run 4+. I did note mustang 4.6 has similar sized pistons. Thanks for the heads up on the plateau hone too, sure that works alot better than the old ball hone
Next time you try to sell people on the ring friction idea try this approach while choosing the dyno graphs to show the general public. Torque difference at 3000rpm should be little to nothing. Big tq gains at a 3000rpm load in indicates the whole comparison is flawed. Try again with some factual A to B testing. Ain't it a bitch when another dyno guy happens upon your videos?
NASCAR brake linings were Grey Rock, probably long gone now. I stand corrected! ""Grey Rock" brake linings are still available today, manufactured by Haldex, and are considered a well-established brand known for their high-performance and stability in heavy-duty vehicles, particularly trucks; essentially, nothing significant has happened to Grey Rock brake linings, they continue to be a prominent option in the market; their legacy of reliable braking performance remains intact"
i see videos about ring gap, but what is the gap from the ring side to the piston ring land? what sort of profile does the ring have as in flat or slightly curved face to the cylinder wall. do any piston rings have groves in the face to create a labyrinth seal and can this sort of "seal" be tried on a piston surface?
Were your dyno cell instrumented you could measure thermal power of the coolant loop. If you measured mechanical power, exhaust thermal power, and coolant thermal power, you could more thoroughly understand where each joule is consumed.
I'm using Total Seal plasma moly 1/16 th ring stack with my 383/496 Mopar stroker build and my other build 400/512 stroker,,will be the new total seal gas ported rings in the same width ... Both engines will be dyno tested using the same exact max wedge fully ported heads and all USA made valvetrain and Heads❤❤❤
Did you test the 1/16 gas port rings on the same pistons that had the ductile molly rings? That would be an interesting comparison for those that don't want to buy new pistons.
If planning on using those thin steel rings you should make sure your machine shop have to tools to do a proper plateau hone. That means they should at least have a four stone diamond hone and preferably a six stone to be able to get the bore proper straight and produce the plateau needed for those rings. The older more common two stone hone with two supports wont be good enough.
I had a set of Probe FPS series SBC pistons in 2006ish-2008ish that had the horizontal drilled gas ports with 1/16-1/16-3/16 ring pack... I'd like to see a true "APPLES TO APPLES" comparison of the (SAME EXACT SIZE) ring, for (BOTH) just one ported and one not... Not different sized rings... I think the ultimate gain wouldn't be anymore than 10HP at most, and what about "BLOW-BY"?!? Less tension generally means more blow-by and possible oil getting past into the chambers to get burnt... Ram has a recall on certain engines made by Fiat/Chrysler due to low tension rings causing oil consumption issues. And what about Boost?!? For instance a super-turbocharged 10psi street engine.... I rather have a little bit thicker ring for durability.... Less prone to breakage by accidental detonation, etc. Thoughts?
GREAT proof for all the confused & non believer's! I can tell ya for a fact our UOA's are always better with your ring packs. And that's even before the new hone preciseness... 👍🏽👍🏽 See ya soon @ PRI
Cost should not be a factor or have any relevance. Inflation and price fixing have made the cost skyrocket. I'm sure the cost years ago was a better value.
Instead of thinner rings, why not step the outer edge to whatever thickness you want. I remember using stepped rings in rering only jobs to clear the wear ridge. It was something done 30+ years ago. You would have room for a decent size ring port also.
The dyno graphs you show indicate a peak hp at 5600rpm, and rolled over by 6000rpm. The 1/16 ring dyno shows 430-435ish hp based on scaling, while the trick rings appear to be 445ish hp. From your dyno graphs, this appears to be a pretty basic small block with a dual plane. 460ish torque and 430-435ish hp at a peak of 5600rpm, and rolled over by 6000rpm. If I take your dyno graphs of a mild street everyday dual plane small block peaking at 5600 on an engine dyno 1/16 rings, and you tell me it made 18-20hp more. No, not on a strictly controlled A to B test. Im calling shenanigans. You should supplement your income selling marvel mystery oil and slick 50
I have a question. If this was a fresh engine for dyno comparisons, most builders would have used the plateau hone for the 1/16 ring package, then maybe give a touch-up for the new rings. The speaker indicated the prior hone job is unknown for the 1/16 rings. So, what was the engine? An unknown new machine shop hone w new 1/16 rings? Was this a used engine due for a refresh, hone, and new rings? It seems some critical details have been left out.
Lake mentions the hone job was only unknown for "The engines Masters" ring test which was with different people using a different engine. The engine used for this test Lake mentions that the hone was the same type for both style of rings. Hope that helps.
So, would it be safe to say that the gas ported rings contract during the intake stroke due to the vacuum in the cylinder? Further reducing friction and wear. I have always wanted to see just such a comparison as you have presented today. This is very interesting for an old school engine guy like myself.
The differences what is are you doing a cheap ring or you build a full race motor that's the answer. I always use the cheap set of Hastings ring rerings are you building a street engine that want to get 300,000 out of it, all right all out race engine.
How would less wear on the rings be a race only situation? Less friction n wear is just as beneficial for any moderate street engine. Junkyard engine with rings thrown in for under 300$ is a whole other story
The hot oil is not all about the increased friction . The point .9 ring combo obviously had less blowby , especially near peak power . And you know you didn't measure ( or comment on ) blowby intentionally for this test .
