Cylinder Bore Honing For Horsepower! Watch This Before You Hone Your Block!
Just changing the way a cylinder is honed can impact the performance of the engine. The surface finish of the bore plays a critical role in how well the piston ring seals.
Proper Piston Ring to Piston Ring Groove fitment plays a critical role in the performance of your engine. Improper fit can lead to engine failure, so getting proper measurements is a must when building an engine.
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.
As time goes on, the technology being used in Formula One will trickle down to rings that the everyday builder will be able to purchase. I promise, it will be worth the wait. – Keith Jones, Total Seal
