The instructions say .003 to .004 per inch of cylinder diameter. Calculates out to .011” to .015”. What end gap should I use? Anyone used this combination?
Thanks, Jsaum |

Check the internet, I was surprised to read the KB (Keith Black) pistons call for increased ring clearance . I don't remember the fraction But I gapped the top ring at ..024. The KB top ring is closer to the top and gets hotter ergo more gap.
