Default Gapless Piston Rings

I gotta replace my rings here soon, and I got a few questions. Anyone know if gapless is that much better then gapped rings? Also how do you install them???

Just like any other ring son. And yes they say that gapless rings are better, but i dont have any personnal experience. If i were u i would buy some OEM honda rings, but thats just me.

Gapless are the shit. I was reading about them today. The pull more vaccum on your system they hold more compression. They install like normal rings

Gapless piston rings are strictly for N/A. Nitrous applications having the largest gap. The hotter the cylinder temp the more the ring will expand that's why there are different gaps for different applications. So if you are n/a, gapless is the way to go, do to it allows less blow by.

I've heard a ton of Honda engine builders say that the OEM rings are the best out there for N/A stuff, they're very high quality and can't be touched by the aftermarket stuff.. I've never had any personal experience with this, I'm just going on what I've heard over and over and over..

Thats a good point. OEM Honda stuff does seem to hold well.
