The top crews and shops know that minimizing piston-ring friction to the least possible drag before blow-by is one of the best ways to maximize engine efficiency. This is the ultimate tool for quantitatively measuring friction as a function
of gap and diameter. Get it right, the first time, and get the trophy!

DELIVERING THE DATA YOU NEED TO OPTIMIZE YOUR NEXT BUILD
The Ring Pull employs a digital load-cell attached to a patented adjustable fixture designed to isolate and pull the ring through the cylinder prior to piston-ring assembly, allowing a precise measure of ring drag against the machined cylinder surface.
This critical ring-to-bore surface friction data will help you optimize your build:
-
Facilitate engine cylinder ring preparation prior to assembly, which aids in evaluating cylinder bore surface finishes (Ra, Rz, Rk, Rpk, Rvk taper)
-
Compare cylinder quality in the machining preparation stage
-
Accurately measure the consistency of cylinder ring manufacturing (verifying ring set)
-
Balance ring drag from cylinder to cylinder
-
Accurately diagnose cylinder ring failure
-
Manage friction coefficients for build sheets
-
Analyze lubrication efficiency, and gauge engine temperatures
-
Measure all of the above with the torque plate installed, potentially exposing cylinder deficiencies prior to assembly
