my thoughts exactly....stay with the Honda rings. Or if you are going with aftermarket pistons like JE or SRP I know the shop I go to has great results with JE XC rings.

Basically I use whatever rings the manufacturer of the pistons provides be it JE, Arias, etc.. but I've had nothing but bad luck with Total Seal rings, all three imports I've tried them in became instant smoke bomb mosquito foggers.

If you wanna use the Total Seal gapless rings, get info from TS BEFORE you engine is bored/honed.

TS rings require a special honing process.
