03 XFI rebuild

i have found a 2 ring cast iron piston for the xfi .020" over, which is good news. However I read that a 3 ring piston might give me better longevity over the 2 ring piston and if i use a good synthetic on the 3 ring the mpg would be close to the 2 ring ...any thoughts?

Honestly, I doubt you'd notice any difference in between the two.

I went with the 3 ring NPR cast pistons made in Japan. The only ones they made where .020" over but i ordered them today without the rings. Once they arrive im sending them off TotalSeal to custom make me some gapless rings. To be continued....

May I ask how much the total seal rings cost?

I got the best Total Seal version of rings that they can possibly make. The invoice came in at $141 bucks for everything. Its funny these rings actually more then the pistons themselves lol. But in my mind i can blow that much on Sushi. But most certainly it will more then pay for itself in the long run ;) I sent them the actual pistons so they can custom fit them with there rings. So the next step is to order the other goodies and send in the head to 3 Tech.... To be cont ..
