a few engine build questions? please help.

[but]

Im building an engine as we speak. I have it on the stand and the setup includes .020 over ross pistons,1g rods,standard size clevite bearings,and 1g crankshaft. I got my block decked,bored,honed,polished crankshaft,and roatating assembly balanced. What is a good end gap clearance for the ross rings,and also when im checking my crankshaft endplay what are the specs on that? Also I need piston to wall clearance specs,and main bearing clearance specs. I have a manual but I was told to watch out for miss-prints on the haynes and chilton. so i'm double checking. please help I dont want to mess this up. thankyou!

Ring end gap and PTW should be on the spec sheet that came with the Ross Pistons

Connecting Rod/Main Bearing
.02-.05mm

Crank Endplay
.05-.018mm

hey thankyou,so I believe it said with boosted application .006mm would that sound about right?

Also,when checking ring end gap,and piston to wall clearance I just lube the cylinder with non detergent,and push the ring into the cylinder a bit,and then push it down with an old piston correct?

Use regular oil to lube the walls..

Make sure to have the 2nd ring on the old piston to ensure an even sit for the ring your gapping

Ok so I can just use 30 weight for this? I read that your not suppose to use an oil with a detergent.

wash the block and clean the crank before your final assembly

Thankyou bogus,I washed my block and crank and used a gun brush. Now, Is it ok to use a scotch brite pad on my cylinders to wash? I was going to double wash it.
