Re: Ring thickness
Just curious for the folks that have had a difficult time with their Total Seal ring packages, what Rpk, Rvk and Ra numbers did you end up with on your hone finishes?

Re: Ring thickness
Radial tension of the top ring is critical. Dig out you old Direction Book Chrysler had a very good procedure for breakin! Real way to check if you have good breakin is to measure Blowby!

Re: Ring thickness
Steel ring is 4.385, bore is 4.375 it takes a little time for the ring to round up. As they say its a Chevy world.
