    Need a little help!
    I am re ringing my motor and have been running a CS1702 255 4.505 .017 1/16 3/16.
    This is a blown hemi on methanol with a dmpe k11 blower.
    I have not run a gapless second ring and have been wondering if I should be. Any thoughts.
    I have seen TS-T1702 255 advertised a lot.
    I street drive this with a radiator if it even matters.
    Thank you everyone.

    I would recommend calling Total Seal and speaking with Keith Jones. He will guide you in the right direction for your package as a whole. The rings, pistons, bores, cooling, and lube setup, all have to work together. Just my thought.

    I am assuming the only difference is the gapless second ring.
    does a gapless second really make a difference on oil dilution?

    They suggested gapless second for fuel control rest is the same. what I figured, but wanted your opinions as well just talked with them. not Keith though.

    Fuel Control

    I am not sure at this point if "fuel control" means keeping any unburnt liquid fuel in the chamber or not but I think I would rather that it bypass the piston and have a fresh "clean" fuel air charge every stroke. I say let it bypass, I can change my oil. Just my 1.075cents worth.
