Errol,
Gapless ring sets is something that occasionally comes up on the Ozdat list.
These are something that I've not knowingly used in the past as I mainly use
Hastings CM's from the land of the good ole boys and I'm curious to learn a
bit about them.
Could you give us a brief run down on the pros and cons of the gapless type.
For a start how do you fit them. Are they like a normal ring but just have
zero gap? Are they suitable for a street engine or are they designed for use
in a competition engine?
tia
Terry (Of course the invitation is open to other listers who wish to
contribute.)

Chris & Brad,
At that price it makes a grunter engine pretty affordable. Add $140 for a
good ductile iron gapless ring set, $100 for bearings, $70 for gaskets and
the cost of boring the block 3mm. Not bad at all, good cheap performance.
Now about that 66m stroke, 88mmm bore special..................
Cheers
Feral Errol
