gapless piston rings?

[DomestikDemon]

Anyone have any experience with these? what are your thoughts? I bet that would providea substantial power increase especially when boosted...there would be no blow-by...saw them in a Jegs catalog

waste of money. blow by is miniscule in modern cars, u dont have quarter inch clearances nowadays in motors.

also they would increase friction........ and i base that on absolutely nothing :D

If it's the same price as normal rings and you're switching anyways, try them. If not, stay with normal rings. They've worked fine with the same design for many years, so why fix what ain't broke?

They work, but are expensive, and not really for street. They build up to much crank case pressure and flutter with street cruising, and cause an increase in oil consumption. With a Vacuum pump, or some crankcase evac sys, they work good though. I have run them on my 462 Trans Am for years

Isnt that the point of a PVC valve being attached to a vacuum line? not trying to sound smartass, I can see what your saying, modern engines can take care of that though right?
