Total Seal Piston Grooves for more HP

Thin piston ring technology is something you’ve either heard or read about. The primary benefit of this advanced ring technology is the dramatic reduction in rotating friction and better bore conformability resulting in big horsepower gains at the flywheel. But if your pistons already have everything you want except for the small ring grooves, well, Total Seal® has your solution. They now offer piston ring groove spacers in .030” & .046” thickness. Both are available with or with without lateral gas slots (like side gas porting the piston).

Imagine the possibilities! Let’s say you’ve got pistons with 5/64”, 5/64”, 3/16” ring grooves. Total Seal® ring spacers would allow the use of 1.2mm (.046”) or as thin as .8mm (.0325”) rings in those large grooves. You also have the option of using the gas slotted spacer to make sure the ring receives the necessary gas pressure in high RPM, high cylinder pressure applications to assure the best ring seal possible. We’ve heard you can get HP gains in excess of 15HP with the change from 5/64” to 1.2mm rings in the same piston. The gains achieved by going to .8mm rings are significantly greater.

These spacers can be used in just about any ring groove size, from 1/8” to as small as 1.5mm. The horsepower gain possibilities are almost endless on applications ranging from your show truck to tractor pullers to daily drivers. The only thing you have to lose is friction.
