Engine break in and seating the rings????

The best thing you can do after getting the proper hone (an art in itself) is to apply the Total Seal paste that you burnish to the cylinder walls. I can't find it on their website but it was developed by my engine builder, Bud Yancer of MACH Development. It is sold and marketed (?) by total seal. After that, Gibbs break-in oil. With anything coming out of that shop, leak down after dyno break in should be around 1%. And that's using gapped rings.
