I am a hobby type engine builder. I am amazed at the difference thinner rings make. Thanks for the great info Lake! You are my guru!
Thank you!
Yeah, Lake is the go-to maniac for all things friction and oil. A tribologist? A very interesting field of study. Wanna learn. Hang with Lake.
I will say this for gapless rings, they do indeed keep the oil cleaner. Thing about gapless rings is it does up your dynamic compression because it seals better and keeps more squeeze in the cylinder. They really are worth the money.
Thanks for sharing!
2:45, Error. "If you run a 16th ring versus 0.7 mm ring you can see
a reduction in wear by55% ..."??? Don't mix apples with bananas.
He is talking ring width in both cases. Whether it is expressed in inches or mm or both is irrelevant.
@@michaelmoon8856 No, he mixed himself up. He said: "If you run a 1/16 instead of a .7 mm it causes a reduction in wear." He was trying to show that the .7 reduces wear. You weren't listening carefully enough. It's a bad habit to mix these things. It almost killed the Apollo 13 astronauts and in mixed Lake up too. Don't do it.
Agreed. Mixing units of measurement is not ideal.
@@alext8828 Yes, he said it backwards at first but he then he says it correctly. 5/64" has been the standard for years, then the high performance was the 1/16" ring (kinda still is). Now it is in metric. If you look at the latest model SBC engines (98,99) the ring pack is metric. Same for the LS series engines. It's metric now, he's correct to mix them.
@@gearhead7896 So he needed to convert one to the other. I'm saying it's bad to mix apples with bananas and he proved my point. Nothing else to be said.
For nascar block honing , is the block heated with water temp compatable with running temp to keep the bore straight from the beginning , I think most of us know that heat distorts iron, just unsure if block heating makes any difference 🤔
Excellent thought.
Excellent advice it is a balancing act with your breakdown it makes it easier to understand.
I'm going to be rebuilding an OM606 turbo diesel in the next year or two. What kind of rings would you recommend for a high performance diesel engine?
Trade off with oil consumption. All theses new vehicles with low friction rings that come new with oil consumption that the manufacturers claim is normal. Sorry. Oil consumption of any kind is not normal.
Don't be afraid to give us those numbers in American
25.4 millimeters in an inch. Do some American math😁
1.2 mm ring gives the same tension, as the sexual tension me and your mom have
Love you content. What effect does coolant temp have on low tension rings. What temp(s) are a problem area that should be avoided. I assume that if you get a engine hot you will pay for your sins !!!
Actually it is the opposite. Low temperature operation will cause more oil consumption with low tension oil rings than high temperature.
The steel used to make thinner rings can easily handle high temperatures.
I've been studying this of late. Seems motorcycle racers were removing 2nd ring for less friction,more power. High revs. But reluctant to promote this. I'm talking two stroke; but may include four stroke. More willing to rev also.
The two rings set up is typically more for compression height, which allows the piston to be lighter.
Best, most concise explanation I’ve heard. Total Seal 👍👍
Wow, thanks!
What I want to know is whether or not Hot Shots FR3 works to reduce wear, or if it only reduces friction?
Stay tuned
@@TotalSeal 🙏🏽
I imagine if one goes to a thinner ring they need to change pistons or does that depend on what your changing from?
Yes, new pistons are required
Did we address 'long-interval' oils?
Not yet…
Hot Rod did the test 6 years ago. Was good for 8 hp on a healthy SBC, not very much. But..... I'm all for the thinner, low tension rings for the decreased wear. Especially when they are WPC treated. I'd love to see a comparison between thin, low tension rings vs. the same rings WPC treated.
How is ring tension measured? It's a radial force and direction.
Radial force via a tangential load meter
@@TotalSeal I'd like to see that. You should include such a test in a video.
@@billshiff2060great suggestion!
I always wondered why newer engines are still great at 200K miles. I did watch a video on the Honda 1.5L and how you can almost turn the engine over ( no compression ) by hand.
Would you recommend a thinner oil than 5w30 oil on Ls7 engine ?
Nope!
@@TotalSeal Thank you for the info ! :)
Dosnt a lower tension ring allow oil to pass and get burnt? Visaversa blow by into the motor? I'm confused
yes you are
Nope. Not when the hone is done correctly and the proper viscosity is used
@@PerformanceEngines not an educated answer. Plz try again
How about getting the customer service team to respond to emails? Good luck trying to buy a set of piston rings from Total Seal. These video are awesome but Total Seal needs to close the deal.
Sorry to hear that, but thanks for sharing your experience.
