I used the rings that Mahle sent..They had their own ring package. I did not check the ring gaps.
You said , " Hot Hard Run"..... actually as was very lucky that it wasn't a hot hard run... I was only just cruising at 80 +/- and rpm's were somewhere around 2000 or so. RP was probably in the 15K-17K range...
Sorry..I did not go back to read the original thread in the tip split so I mis-stated the facts...:LOL.
Even at 80 or so I would imagine 700-900 on the EGT's.
Now I am really curious about the ring gaps! Not having enough gap on the first or second ring and when they meet can and will wreak havoc.
