How many sets of piston rings have you ever seen ?
Did you know that there are about thirty different designs for
compression rings, oil scraper rings, #2 compression ring?
Only about three are designed for racing and the others are designed for
applications considered standard.
VW has three rings but other vehicles and industrial engines can have
four or even more in some cases.
If you believe that you can break in a Waser Boxer on Synthetic I'd
welcome your reports for the first two years while you're hoping to
develop good compression.
