RE: Autotech stroker kit

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

Got em on my own car. No problem! I dont consume any oil, I have NO 
complaints. I think that it would be a folly to discount their quality. They 
are a very good ring (and I mean the second compression ring). If anyone has 
had problem I would attribute it to improper break in and/or fitting. Good 
ring! Wouldnt buy anything else!
