So here's the problem, I used JE Rings on my last motor

did the hard break in, and one of the rings broke.

What rings are guys using on their all motor setups? mine's nothing crazy, b16,ctr pistons, gsr head

cam you get oem rings for over sized pistons? also whats the word on "total seal" rings

 

anything better than OEM?

I know factory honda is top notch,but there should be something better out there

 

total seal, give them your setup and use plans and they will give you what you need.

yeah but do they cause premature wear?

He says he has ctr pistons. In that case they would be no larger then 81.25mm. That ring size is available from honda of course.

 

I use hastings rings all the time. No problems and theywork great.

 

i use totalseal rings, and like they are designed, they have kept blow by and leakdown around the rings to a minimum. i love them(except the price) and would either use them or oem honda

 

thanks guys

im using stock bore ctr pistons

i heard that total seal dont like nitrous, im not gonna use nitrous on these pistons


hastings is good, but you gotta baby those rings right? for the first 1500 miles approx.

 

total seal rings are actually prime for the increased combustion pressures of nitrous and other forced induction as well

 

Does honda make 86mm piston rings?

 

i have extreme total seals on my itr piston standard bore and they work hella good with NO problems....i think this extreme total seals are like the latest **** they made.... peaz...

 

does anyone else has done the hard-break in , thing with success, using OEM rings?

 

D id you buy " file fit rings" and not check the end gap? What was the end gap? Rings do not normally break without a reason, stock piston maybe, but not rings unless they are butting the ends.

 

yeah but he said he did the hard break-in , and i was considering to do the same after i build my motor, is there a possibility these rings cant handle this way of break-in?

 

not if the end gap is correct...

 

yes these were file fit rings

i gapped all the rings to spec. je spec.

i spent the better prt of a day sitting there filing each ring

so total seal works, aswell as hastings

i was going for a chrome moly ring, there another type out there ____ moly, does anyone know or am i sniffing too much varsol
