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

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. |
