Re: thin ring grooves
Just a thought, thin ring groves over stock groves. Engine builders would love to have the thin ring groves. Not having to deal with the stupid spacers would help reduce the man hours on building an engine. Not to mention the cost savings to the racers. How many of us had the spacers stick and not allow the rings to seal? Then you had to take apart the engine to free up the spacer and the rings. I have a new set of pistons on order as of last week. I would love to be able to legally have thin ring groves and never use spacers again.

Re: thin ring grooves
Didja ever notice that every off-season SOMETHING NEW pops up that is going to require most Racers to spend money on their Stockers to make them less stock? Why is that?

Re: thin ring grooves
The ring grooves are flat, the rings are flat, those spacers are not.
Best way to go is to back cut (a lot), and gas port the OE width rings....... seals better and runs faster, but ring sales guy (whose never built a motor his entire life) won't be on board with that as it costs less lol |
