DING DING DING We have a winner. Some of the Mahle pistons I have been using have a 1MM 1MM 2 MM ring pack with very low tension ring pack, So far all my engines seem to like this ring pack. |

Re: piston rings?
Any knowledge of ET differences from all the different oil ring tensions. Also I just Had Carl Hinkson prep my new Dart Little M block and the fit and finish was spot on perfect. Thank you Carl

Re: piston rings?
The old style rings we used to crimp with needle nose pliers till we got the desired amount of tension. I've also ran a smaller bore expander then the actual bore. Others may have better ideas, but I was happy with my results.

Re: piston rings?
Beats me. Al Parker does the honing, and I just trust him for the ring package. Never been wrong so far. I still check the tension. We had one 0.060 over 283 that literally was air tank tight. Zero leak down on 8 cylinders. Zero, nada, zilch, nothing.
