The gap is okay as long as it’s consistent from top to bottom of the cylinders stroke. It’s when you run into taper from the top to bottom of the ring travel that you’ll loose seal. How consistent is the gap from top to bottom?
I rechecked the gaps. The most I see is .001 difference in the area where the rings touch.
Im going to put them in, Ill file the second ring a little....
FWIW the one thing that bugs me, on the top ring, spec is .012 - .022, and when I check, all the way down in the bottom of the cyl. its still .024. and then the second ring, (which is supposed to be wider then the top) is .018.
Makes me wonder about the enginetech rings.....
