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 |

As far as I know, they are all cast iron rings and should have similar specs, BUT make sure you get it right or the rings can break. Have you called the factory? Grant

Have you called the factory? Grant I have the Grant factory instructions which call for a range of .003 to .004 per inch of diameter of the piston. That’s between .011 to .015. I’ll give AA performance a call Monday and see if they can give a recommendation. |
