.043 pro series .155 rings with vertical gas ports would be far better than the dykes and proper ring clearance would be a key factor also. There are also diamond finished rings which would be a great option. There are some other options that are popular on these piston I can explain to you if you want to call me. take care 316-775-7771

My LT-1 had 1/16" top ring grooves and I used std. top rings with cutback seconds and very low tension oils......I have used the .031" dykes with spacers in a 5/64" groove if I remember right in my 350/255 back in the '90's......Do the .043" rings go in a 1/16" groove with spacers.....and the rings are where the gas port grooves are cut ? .......the spacer would be pretty thin and I have no experience or knowledge of the gas ported ring setup. Just curious about this and I might need the knowledge for a future Stocker engine project for someone else........

Well Patterson and Bub, i too agree with you guys,,,,Total Seal now can supply you with Gas Ported spacers to go with the .043 Top Ring. I haven't seen this metioned but, it is illegal to machine Lateral Gas Ports in a Stocker piston,,,sooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! The .043 Diamond Cut ring or 1/16 or 5/64 Diamond cut is the way to go but, a little pricey!

What about the .7 & .8 mm rings & 2 mm oil rings for engines in the 8,000-10,000 rpm range?
