I think it depends on if its the 2nd ring or top ring that's gapless. The second ring being gappless causes oil consumption in the gasser world. Maybe its different for diesels. But a gappless top ring with tapered ends should be just fine. Probably keep your oil much cleaner too.

Mine are gapless also, granted its not really a DD but it never gets trailered to events... Also I have sat in traffic in Texas heat with a filled block and my temperatures never got higher than a factory truck.

well 250 miles and so far so good. starting to lean on it a bit in a very small tune , 1600us , and it definitely makes a lot of power. it'll be interesting to see how it runs at 2000us and full throttle.
