Hard for me to see the pic of their recommendation. Compared to factory ring gaps that's pretty close though based on what 16HellcatGoManGo posted. I looked up the specs on the built motor in my old Challenger and the ring gap was .024 top and .026 second.

Well I got 2 piston/rod assemblies installed . File fitting the rings is a tedious job . Top ring is 0.030 and the second ring is 0.026 .
Rod to rod clearence is 0.006 . I also had to "tweak" the oil squirters a tad for clearances to my liking .

2 6 inch turbo's,,,, eagh??? Why knot. Blow it, blow it. Time fer neck pain, Oxy, More E Phine, and strawberry shake with Smokey Mountain Apple Tinny out of the hills. Neck pain gets thru the Doc, like today, twist and turn. Time fer the hard hitters,, Apple Tinny and an Oxy chaser.
