The primary job of the piston ring is to create the seal between
the piston and the cylinder wall. Total Seal's new Gas-Ported piston rings represent an evolution in ring seal. The conventional practice of thick, heavy, high tension rings that fought against cylinder pressure to maintain seal has been revolutionized. Instead of fighting cylinder pressure, gas ported rings harness those forces and use them to improve ring seal. These advanced rings benefit all engines, especially turbocharged and supercharged engines.
