watched a biker build off episode and they had drilled holes round the outside of the pistons as this apparently pushes the rings down and seals better

Ross pistons in the US offer this on their pistons. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

big ring wear apparently Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

Total Seal rings work great, no mods to the pistons. If they don't have rings to match your pistons, they will modify your rings. Some smallbore racers put the Total Seal on the second ring. |
