Wondering what most other engine builders are using and if anyone has had any issues with "total seal"? Application is for 565/700 hp NA builds.

Why are you asking this? Are you are having a issue?

Dig around in here about total seal, I remember reading to not use them. I don't remember why, but it was pretty much agreed at the time, that the are not the best choice.

Did a quick search before thread and didn't see much unless comments regarding were buried in the post somewhere.

Not having issues however was quoted a price for Pistons with total seal rings. I've never used them and am curious. I've heard of street guys liking them but have no experience with myself.

I was originally gonna just use sp hell fires but then they quoted me with the TS. Told them to wait on placing order until I gave the word. just thought I'd ck before giving the go ahead. Seems like just about any internal moving part of an engine there are always pros and cons. I understand that. Some perhaps quality control but most probably human error or oversights then of course it's always the parts fault . Lol.

As Mike said block must be honest. I wouldn't let a shop touch the block unless they have an RA meter. Total Seal is hands down the leader in ring technology.

Yes they do. My blocks and rotating assm will be there anyway prior to assembly. I cked out their website. Pretty interesting with some good material. Learn something everyday.... But guess I forget something everyday also.

With the said info does this create any unforeseen issues down the road. (300 plus hours). Again this is assuming block is 100% true. starting out with fresh 9.8/4.600 darts that will require machining anyway.
