Total Seal Rings |
|
Racers understand what blow-by is and they know how quickly it can render an engine uncompetitive. To keep blow-by under control, make sure cylinder walls are perfectly round, straight and finished to your ring set. Use your leakdown tester to check each cylinder's leakage after every race. Compression gauges don't test leakdown. In fact, your weekly checklist should include a leakdown test. If your engine is unstable, the data you receive from checking tires or chassis setting may be unusable.
And, of course, the best was to stop blow-by is to use Total Seal Gapless piston rings in your engine. Conventional leakdown on a very carefully prepared engine averages 5% -8%. After a few races, with even the best conventional high performance rings, leakdown of 12% or more is common-and we all know that excessive leakdown will make your engine uncompetitive and case premature failure of your parts.
Using the Total Seal Gapless ring always keeps your leakdown to 2% or less. Readings of 0%-1% are common even after several races.
With Total Seal Gapless rings in your engine you get more compression, more horsepower, more torque, cleaner and cooler oil, better fuel economy and more stable conditions for other testing efforts. |
