Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if I need the 0.020" oversize ring?

A: You should use this ring if your Raptor cylinder has been bored 0.020" over factory specifications. Always measure your cylinder bore with a precision gauge before purchasing to ensure the ring gap and fit are correct for your specific engine build.

Q: Is this ring compatible with standard-bore Raptor engines?

A: No. This ring is specifically designed for a 0.020" oversize piston. Installing an oversize ring in a standard-bore cylinder will result in improper ring end gap, which can cause the engine to seize or suffer severe internal damage.

Q: What is the benefit of using a high-quality top ring in a Raptor flathead?

A: A precision-engineered top ring provides a superior seal against the cylinder wall. This minimizes blow-by, which keeps combustion pressure where it belongs—on top of the piston—resulting in better throttle response and more consistent power throughout the race.

Q: Do I need to gap these rings before installation?

A: Yes. Even with precision-manufactured rings, you should always check the ring end gap inside your specific cylinder to ensure it falls within the manufacturer's recommended tolerances for racing applications.
