oh well. too big on ring gaps are better than too small. Plus, I think I've seen some write ups from different builders online who say that they've noticed no loss in Hp with as much as a .060" ring gap
With a 4.030" bore, a 0.020" ring gap is ~0.11% of the total circumference. A 0.080" ring gap is ~0.63%.
If that 0.5% difference is enough to kill the overall power... something else is wrong 
As long as they're big enough they don't butt together during operation, I'd say you're good to go.
If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
