When I tore down my 3.2 due to a money shift, I noticed the piston rings were very low tension. Now, they were severely worn, so maybe that was why I thought they were low tension?
I bought Total Seal conventional rings (98mm, 3.4L P&C's) through EBS, and noticed they were stiff as you'd expect for an American iron V8.
Question is, am I just mistaking a brand new ring with full dimension to be high tension or are TS's really stiffer?
Second, if they're stiffer than OEM, should I expect excess wear to the bores?
TIA
