[onelove3]

well i finally got the right pistons. i ended up getting ross pistons. but now im stuck on the ring gap. i was thinking of 15 on the first ring and 18 on the second ring. what do you guys think.

My wisecos came with a sheet that told you how to calculate ring gap. It was something like take the bore size and miltiply it by .xx for turbo cars, or .xx for N/A cars.

ok so i did the formula and it came out to be .017 on the first ring and .020 on the second ring.

I usually go a little looser. .019 and .024 work pretty well for me on most of the motors i build.
