Total Seal part #S4364.
This set uses a gapless 2nd ring which almost eliminates blow by.

Subject: 2.1 ring recommendations

Does anyone have advice on which rings to use on a 2.1 wbx?  I just got my
free 2.1's heads off and found some cross hatching still in the cylinders,
no pitting on the sealing surface of the AMC heads (they look brand new),
but a bunch of flaky carbon on the heads and piston tops.  It looks like a
very well taken care of motor, the water jacket and head studs show ZERO
signs of corrosion.   I was told it had a rebuild 30k ago, and everything
looks great, should I go ahead and re ring it?  I found the tiny tear in the
green o-ring on cyl 1 that was causing the problem that made to PO swap in a
WRX Subie.  With that in mind, I'll be replacing the lower o-rings as well,
so I feel like a re-ring wouldn't be any extra work.

Thanks everyone!
