The Speed Shop

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (Larry Fry)]

The site says "2% leakdown" and "20% leakdown" in comparing the Gapless to
to conventional rings.
Those terms are completely meaningless.
Two percent of what?  Twenty percent of what?
Leak down is expressed in pressure/time;  what is two percent of
pressure/time?
There are no values associated with their claims.
One may assume that there is no validity, either.
