how or why would two motors same size use a high or low,,2 or 3 ring setup,does the highdome have more compression,,is the 3 ring piston preferd for better sealing?

High dome has more compression and the 3 ring runs cooler as rings help pull heat from piston...

You can mix and match low and high dome piston without affecting performace much, and the high dome has a longer deflector ,wrist pin height is the same..
