Yep, along with how far down to put the 1st ring, valve sizes, valve angle, valve drop, rod width, thickness above the pin, pin diameter, etc etc

It's been a very long time since I've posted on here. There used to be many experienced people on here. Hopefully there still is??? I'm just trying to gather information from many sources to educate myself on all the different types of rings, and what works best in certain applications. I've built a LOT of Pontiacs but I admit I had a couple different brands and types of rings I stayed with. Sure they worked, but were they the best for the application?? For this particular engine I want to do my best to make sure everything works together, and is as good as I can put together. I'm not going to strictly use what one person says, whether it's on here, another builder, or manufacturer. Right now I'm leaning towards Diamond Pistons and will most likely purchase the Total Seal rings I want through Diamond so that they know exactly what I'm working with. But it's not set in stone.
