[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 91226, member: 3426"] Was it common to use more end gap with the original specialloid rings? The ones with the beveled ends. The gap on the rings that came with the piston are too wide. Even if I try rings that were labeled (assuming it's correct) .020 on the .010 over bore the gap is too wide. To get down to the .0045 per inch or a little more (Richardson says .016 to .020) I would have to use rings that were labeled .030 and file the end gaps. I know it's not a big deal to run them wider and better that than too tight, but curious as to why they are all over the spec except for the +.030 rings. [ATTACH=full]19652[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
