Niles,

Funny, My motor has gapless rings from Total Seal and it hasen't siezed yet.

Actually, they are really a multi-piece second ring, which has the gap bridged, creating a better seal.
The top ring is conventional.

They're worth just a few horsepower when new, but they probably hold the seal better as the miles add up.

Later,
