[QUOTE="2003 Venomous, post: 14637311, member: 79374"] I am in the process of building a Teksid for my 03. I have a question in regards to the piston ring end gap. I have called Diamond and Total Seal and they say .025-.026 on both top and second ring. That seems very loose for a street and occasional strip motor; dont like the idea of a lot of blowby and crankcase pressure. What are your thoughts? Had a friend who builds mod motors frequently say about .018. I know this is a very controversial topic, but wanted to get some insight form others who have built and are are running them now. Motor specs: .020 Teksid Diamond Pistons 9.5 CR with CC of heads Total Seal rings Stock rod length and stroke 3.3 Lysholm running 20# at Denver altitude....should hit 25# with the current pulley combo at sea level Will run both E-85 and Premium fuel tunes Let me know what your opinions are and if you need any other info. Thanks, Chris [/QUOTE]
