Sleeve time?

As far as rings I have been running Total Seals gapped AP rings....

I have seen them live through things that would eat other rings alive. For instance, I ran most of last year with a cracked #8 cylinder. Had to drain the water out after each race. Before I pulled it I decided to do a leakdown, and it was only 5 percent lol. Ran alky on it all year too boot.

A couple of times we reused the rings after a season of racing too. I do run a vacuum pump, but I have never had any blowby issue since my engine guy started using them.
