Lake Speed Jr. is a sharp cat. I’ve known him for years now and ALWAYS enjoy the conversations we have about engine, oil, and motorsports technologies. This dude is super smart, a riot to play dice with, and always willing to share every single bit of information he’s got in his head. In this video, he’s visiting with Jimmy Barton, a badass in the world of NASCAR and Bonneville records and power, to talk about piston ring gaps.
Ring gap is often discussed and sometimes argued about but depending on the combination you are building it can make a really big difference in how your engine runs and its durability. This is a cool video, so pay attention. These guys know what they are talking about and you will be smarter for it.
