C-rings increase hold with increased pressure. Lemke has their own. |

C rings are more expensive, around $100 each but they can be re torqued many times. Wire rings can only be torqued once, they are $10 to $14 each. |

C rings do work far better than the fire rings with increased boost and power. Does anyone know where else you can get them. I just got a set from R.E.I. and they were 110. OO each . Would be nice to find them a little less. |

Someone is putting the screws to you if your paying $10-$14 each for fire rings. The last sets I bought from Seal Tec were $3 or $4 each. |

What is the advantage to c-rings over fire rings. Is it they can handle more boost if so where is the advantage point 150 lbs of boost or more??? There is a big price difference so how do you justify spending that much more for them? |

My fire rings held pretty good to 90 lbs. of boost. A charger change moved it up to 105 and the fire rings would only last 2 or 3 runs. No problems with the C-rings. |

C rings are reusable, cylinder pressure increase improves seal.
Had a guy tell me once fire rings are reusable if not blown. Why fix it if it ain't broke. Straight block, head, sleeves and good head bolts are just as important. |

Fire rings $48, freight 13, total 61. I think that is fairly close to $10 each. Freight isn't usually free. |
