Gapless Piston Rings
Gapless Piston rings provide increased performance through unmatched
sealing of the cylinder and combustion gasses in the combustion chamber.
Increased horsepower and torque along with longer engine life are just a couple
of the reasons why Gapless Piston rings are the best rings available. Here
are many more.
Increased horsepower and torque
Longer engine life
Saves money (fewer teardowns)
Improved consistenny Cleaner engine oil
Longer ring life
Better Oil control
Less friction
Lower engine oil temperatures
Wider torque curve
More engine vacuum
Increased intake signal
How it Works...
As shown in the illustration, compression gas is deflected by the rail into the
piston groove and aid in pressure loading the ring throughout the 4 stroke cycle.
At the same time the rail also and most importantly closes off the combustion
gas leak path created by the ring end gap. This gap is the primary cause of
blow-by in a 4 cycle engine. With a conventional type ring as the ring and cylinder
wear the ring end gap increases and the blow-by figures increase. The Gapless
ring blow-by figures are not affected by this wear, as the ring end gap increases it
is blocked by the rail portion of interlocking 2 piece design stopping the blow-by
at the source. Conventional style rings when newly installed will show leak down
figures of 7% or higher these figures can quickly exceed 20% or higher after a
surprisingly short period of time. Gapless rings on the other hand when newly
installed typically show leak down figures of 2% and lower and should remain the
same throughout the life of the engine.
