Total seal from howell automotive, they are gapless. They come in the rebuild kit, but they are will reduce engine tear down and help with cleaner oil, longer ring life. Also it provides better seal or imporved seal between the piston and the cylinder. Go with these. I was trying to check out howellautomotive to get a price for you, but it is not letting me on the page.
