LS2 piston rings for stock rebuild - some ware on the cyls
Hi guys,
I'm rebuilding my stock LS2 (mild cam, intake, exhaust) beacause high oil consumption and I need some advice choosing a ring set for my stock pistons:
My stock pistons measured where the teflon coating is/was - 101.55mm
My cylinders are between 101.65mm-101.68mm ... factory is 101.618-101.636 mm
What are my options, can I find some oversized rings for my application ?
I talked to Total Seal and the said CS4712-5 for my application ( -5 means 0.005 oversized ?)
Bore (in):4.000 in.
Bore (mm):101.600mm
File Fit:Yes
Top Ring Thickness:1.2mm
Second Ring Thickness:1.5mm
Oil Ring Thickness:2.5mm
Oil Ring Tension:Low
Oil Ring Tension Rating:10 lb.
Gapless:No
Top Ring Material:Steel
Top Ring Facing Material:Chromium nitride
Second Ring Material:Cast iron
Second Ring Facing Material:Cast iron
Oil Ring Material:Stainless steel
Problem is that I want molly for the top ring, not something harder to go easy on the cyls...also very pricy $300 / set....
I'm from Europe and I must choose right, it will take 2 weeks for the rings to get here....I also want a quick break in
Thanks !
