I owned some Total Seal rings one time. I put them in a Isuzu 2.6 inline 4. All I can tell you is they never seated or something because afterwards I was ALWAYS having to add oil. The engine never used a drop of oil until I put those rings in.

Total seal rings will Flutter at higher RPM. Use file fit rings instead.
