That has me wondering if gapless rings will work on 2F pistons. Childs & Albert and Total Seal make them, but I doubt that they have a 2F app listed. Both companies have ring dimensions that could be used to match their rings to 2F grooves. But that's assuming they have both the right thickness rings for the various 2F pistons and the right bore size rings for 2Fs or what 2Fs are overbored to.stumpy said:anybody try to get a smaller ring gap on a 2F? i was discussing that option with a local 350 builder and he suggested i look into ring options. seems like narrowing the gap might help boost power just a bit. anybody try it? i have seen 16 thou on top and 10 thou on the second ring to get a few more horses out of a 350....

Mark W said:But the biggest advantage of the 3F for higher rpm is not the shorter stroke but the lighter rod and piston combo. The 3F rod is a LOT shorter, as is the piston. The equates to a lot less weight. It's the weight as well as the stroke that creates the stress at higher speeds.
Why not?stumpy said:that answer isnt FREE! might have to. still not sure if a zero gap ring is a good idea though...
stumpy said:ack. didnt make that clear.![]()
i meant 3FE pistons on 2F rods. just sub in the lighter, shorter pistons. are they shorter in the wrist pin to piston 'deck' height?
Mark W said:Yep. Significantly.
