Default Piston Rings

How good do Total Seal Piston Rings seal? I've heard from a friend that a shop told him that they do not seal very well. I would like to hear some of your opinions or better yet experience using Total Seal Piston Rings.

Well I had a 10:1 motor built with them and I loved them although I only put around 25K on the motor before selling it. The guy I sold it to said 6 months later no problems it ran great. It was a tuneport motor it made 418hp and 468tq to the wheels on my truck. So I had a good experience with them although I am only one person.

Some folks on this board have had problems with them sucking oil in thru the valve seals. Not real sure how this happens, do a search on total seal before you get them to be sure.
