Total Seal Piston Rings

Seems some people are having good results with these on older engines particularly for starting. Has anyone got experience of these? Are they expensive? Where can you buy them? I was thinking they might help starting on something like a MF97 with the 504 engine.

They have been used in race car engines since at least the early 1980's. I two rings for the top piston ring groove (at least on racing engines).
Total Seal should have a website. They were good products when I used them.
If Total Seal are using the two ring design on diesel engines for the top ting groove it may or may not work as well. Most diesel engines use a keystone design (ring and groove made like a triangle) to self clean carbon and unburnt fuel.

Good luck, yes! They do have a web site. Historically, they sell 2 types, one type is what everybody is used to, the other type, you have to fit your pistons to them. My guess is that you want your 504 to start better, that I wouldn't count on. I put a set in my 900 and they are great and the 900 starts great, but it started great before, too. My 504's are hard starting and I've just come to accept that's just the way it is - for some reason I don't know.
