What ring gaps are you guys running?

[Doward]

Hey all, what ring gaps are you guys running?

Stock max is .016" and .028"

I'm thinking I'm going to run .026" and .030", since the last time I ran stock, I swelled the rings up enough to crack my piston...

3.1L RWD iron head motor, running .020" oversized Clevite cast pistons...

Would like some of your guys' thoughts

update, discussed things with a couple people, now thinking more along the lines of:

.022" top
.026" bottom

Not entirely sure since I don't have my line card yet, But I "think" the ring thickness is:

1/16
1/16
3mm

With a 3.642 bore

Gas nitrated rings

No info on the ring lands yet. When I get the details, I'll post 'em

I'm taking Ross's recommendation for what they are going to provide. I was more concerned about accomodating the bore, which there are quite a few options at 92.5mm

Perhaps this info is useless to ya at the moment...

So... Since I started another thread on this... lol. What did you end up with? And, what is your actual bore size?
