The New-Era Piston Ring

The development of LFI’s patent pending piston ring technology was born out of necessity, specifically, a critical failure experienced during testing with a competitor's “gapless” ring. Despite its reputation, the competitors ring allowed significant blow-by during operation, compromising the integrity and performance of LFI's patented high-efficiency engine. 

Recognizing that existing solutions fell short, the LFI engineering team led by Ted Hollinger, designed and developed a truly gap-free piston ring capable of maintaining a tight seal across all operating conditions and environments. This breakthrough not only resolved the performance limitations but introduced a new class of piston ring technology ready to set industry standards.
