<VV> Deves rings

[4carbcorvair]

Thank you Bob.

I felt the negatives of the Total Seal were quite more significant than any
other ring set. I personally have not heard of any issues with the Deves, so
I went with them. I just searched Clarks and did not find the comment about
not using with forged pistons. I did a quick look on page 24 with the Deves
listing.  I may very well have missed it.

Yes, I got a kick out of the Swedish Steel comment. GGG
