[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4275496, member: 15054"] I believe some here do not know about cylinder pressures and how they play a part in ring seal. More throttle opening and you get more of that pressure and it gets behind the rings and helps seal them. That is not a myth and in fact they now make gas ported piston rings that work very well and so well they can make the rings very very thin. 1mm Used to be 5/64" rings decades ago then 1/16" was the thin ring (.0625") Now 1mm (.039") Cool stuff. The 383 stroker I am working on is getting 1/16" rings. [/QUOTE]
