I think one of my oil rings are bad because I burn a hell of amount of oil. Yesterday I drove from Fortlauderdale To Miami and when I got to Miami, my oil level on my dip stick was on the low level mark. My Engine was build by JG a few years ago, with Arias Pistons and Saenze rods(ductile sleeves). My question is what's the best BRAND/TYPE of piston rings I should use on the rebuild.

 

total seal gapless..

 

put total seal gapless and you will use about 50 quarts of oil between ft. laurderdale
and miami. total seal rings are total ****. i suggest you call arias and get you a set of rings. just ask around this board and youll see i am right

 

yep he is right, total seal is total ***. if the arias deal doesnt work out id run hastings piston rings, you cant go wrong with them.

 

Just call up Arias and get some rings from them.

 

Where can I get hastings rings from? How much are they?

 

call arias direct, they were about 104 with overnight shipping. super nice people

 

I'm kinda having the same problem and gonna turbo in the near future. Since I'm gonna change the rings shouldn't I do the pistons too or am I ok with just the rings.I have a 94 LS with 116xxx, can it handle boosting 7-9 psi daily? I've done the valve seals and it stopped it from burning like crazy but still is.

it would be a wise decision
