I have used the gapless rings in big bore vw aero engines and found that by using them in both compression grooves was not a good idea. Too much oil control. Not a good idea especially in a steel cylinder like Continentals. Overall I would have to stay with the regular rings as the comparative leak rates were about the same. Just did my 65 and used the Superior stock rings. Ron
