Anyone have any experiences with the Total Seal rings? Specifically the set they have for the 4.0L with the gapless second ring?

No experience but curious...how do you install a solid ring onto the piston or is it a regular type ring that just runs with no gap

i used them on my other project, it is a turbo motor, that has oil squirters in the block. so I am addressing the issue to that. the rings would not seat....basically i needed to run crankcase vacuum pump. eventually got "karnkvents" ( the harley davidson boys might be familiar with those)- problem solved. I have about 600 race miles on the engine before i retired the car to "garage queen".
Quality rings, heard others having good luck, but apparently G54bt block didn't like them (i know at least half a dozen guys with that engine and TS rings, and most of them just tossed rings out... i got a solution after 6 months of screwing around)
