Running one ring

[vwarner]

Hey everyone!
I was just reading that running just the top ring on the piston will really increase power, and rpms. Not being worried about wearing out the one ring a little quicker, will this work? Anyone done it with success?

a single ring piston will allways produce a few more rpms than the double ring design, only for the reason of less drag. the chinese rings are quite soft compared to the good jap rings so a single chinese ring will work for a few race meets but if i were you i would stay with both rings as when the cylinder and rings are correctly seated in any drag will drop and compression will stay longer. its your choice.
