CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Gapless Rings

I know of a racer that held the record with both the top and second ring being gapless. I had gappless top rings in my turbo II 2.2L record holder. My Stock / Super Stock RWD engines have all had gapped rings. As Bub says, follow the advice of your engine builder. If you go against his advice then your on your own and if the project fails or succeeds it's on your shoulders. This is one of those areas where you have to make your own decision and stick to it. There are too many variables that go into making it work...or not.
