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?

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!

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.
