Hi Mike,
Just thought I would check with you if I got the ring-gaps correct before assembling anything. SRP 4.030 pistons & Speed Pro 1/16 moly rings R9771. No nitrous, 6500RPM peak. I set them at .018/.020"
Do you think this is too tight?

Thanks A-M

You are just fine ;)
I use:
.0045-.005 / inch top ,
.005-.0055 / inch second
For yours I would use the tighter

Thanks for the quick reply!!

Do you really set yours that wide even when not intended for N2O? If thats the case please explain why.

Not Mike but, he is saying .0045"X4.030". Which would be .018" for your top ring. .005"X4.030" would be .020" for the second ring.:thumbsup:

Jbird, Thanks for enlighten me.
It was my brain that didnt work the first time I read the post!!!
Sorry
