Why Choose a Gapless® Top or Gapless® 2nd Ring?

A Gapless® top provides the greatest performance benefit (increased horsepower and crankcase vacuum). However, a Gapless® 2nd provides excellent oil control and blow-by prevention (less oil consumption). As such, we typically recommend a Gapless® top for naturally aspirated applications, especially V8 and straight engines. For flat (horizontally opposed) engines and turbo or super-charged engines, we recommend a Gapless® 2nd. Most Total Seal® piston ring styles are available in Gapless® configurations.
