Yep, added to watch list.
Is it the oil expander that jumps out at you?
I've never used total seal and don't know.
Do you think they are most likely Total Seal "Classic Race (street)" or whatever they are marketing their normal non-gapless ring as these days?
The JE branded (in the picture) appear to be an awful lot like FM/Speed Pro/Sealed Power/whatever they are calling themselves lately. Id bet they are a street friendly ring. The price and materials used warrant that assumption. Not sure what you mean about the oil expander tho...it was just like any other I have used...ive used Total Seal a few different times, motors always sealed up fine. I like their stuff.๐

I was referring to what seems to be a gold-ish color to the oil expander, in the picture of that particular set.
The picture is probably not accurate though just like most other catalogs!

The rings had a "TS" marked on them, and were literally bagged in Total Seal packaging in the Howards box.

The Pro Seal ring is a Mahle piece, steel top, napier second, standard and light tension oil sets are available, FYI there are only a handful of ring suppliers to the automotive world, just like cam cores, gaskets, bearings, cranks and rods and yes even castings and forgings. Most times it is a matter of specifications that make a brand unique vs the material. Wholly Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I thought he disappeared.
