914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Ring Gaps - 96mm AA Cylinders / Keith Black Pistons

Posted by: bobhasissues Jul 22 2011, 01:34 PM

Someone recently (about a month ago) posted looking for proper ring gaps using 96mm AA cylinders with Keith Black pistons. I want to verify that same info but cannot find the post. Anyone have the link or specs?

It may vary by ring manufacturer. I used Hastings rings and followed their specs.

From the Workshop Manual on a 1.7L (92 mm bore) engine, assuming stock rings & pistons:

Top ..... 0.0138" - 0.0217"

2nd ..... 0.0118" - 0.0217"

Oil ...... 0.0098" - 0.-0157"

Since your bore diameter larger, I would use the higher figure as a starting point.

Best I can do for you.
