The ring gap topic is critical to engine performance and longevity. Nickolaus DiBlasi, global product manager at Race Winning Brands, explains many points based on the top compression ring and its gap specifications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Arguably one of the most opinionated assembly processes when whipping up your next racing engine project is ring gap, and most to the point, the top compression ring. Race Winning Brands<\/a> and their company, Wiseco Pistons<\/a>, is known for its vast array of motorsport pistons, but many racers rely on their related piston rings with success, as well.<\/p>\n

What Exactly Is Ring Gap?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe top ring sees the most heat,\u201d DiBlasi points out. \u201cWith that in mind, the smaller the gap, the less opportunity there is for combustion chamber pressure to make its way past the first ring. The greater contact the top ring has with the cylinder wall, the better heat transfers to the cylinder and onto the water jackets.\u201d<\/p>\n
