During the measurments phase in pre-assembly I came up with .022 end gap for the top ring, which is a conventional ring, and .023 for the gapless two piece second ring, I didn't measure the rail.
These rings are going on JE forged pistons (.020 oversize) which have a .0052 clearance with the bore.
Using the factor supplied by TS multiplied by the bore the ring gap should be .013, but they also say .015 at a minumim, a bit confusing to say the least.
Many of you have had experience with TS rings and rings in general; my intention is to bolt this engine together once.
Your thoughts please.
