ring gap is set by the MFG. of the rings and will change per. MFG. and type of use and fuel use. Are you gone to run any power adders this make a diff.
Maybe we will start here what are you doing? But most ring gap is right around .003-.004 per inch of bore. but it will will change with what type of pistons used also Hyper. pistons take large ring gaps.
