I dont mind it. But, my hands really hurt by hole 6 or so.
As far as using a plate, most ring mfgs say to gap with a plate installed. Ive never done it, but I happened to have a borrowed plate on hand last time, so I did it.

I use a ring filer with the crank handle, after 2 holes you can count the turns and be right on, and course there's the finish burr clean up. I would rather file rings than install spiro locks
That is what I do. I don't think too much about it. But I am very detail oriented and take way too much time doing all sorts of things. I have a diamond jewlers file to help make the final gap exactly parallel for that last 0.001"

I'm going to be putting together my 440 short block in a few weeks and was wondering who has the best tool for grinding ring? Also, what is the best way to debur rings? Jewlers file like stated above or what else to use? Thanks in advance, I'm a little rusty in this department and just trying to freshen up on my tools/skills.
When I die I want to go like my Grandfather did, quietly in his sleep. Not screaming like the passengers in his car.

I bought one of those crank ring filers from Summit. I sent it back, Way to slow.
I opted for my much more productive Sears belt/disc sander. Turns out it was a little to Productive. the first time I used it.
I over cut a ring on a cylinder and ended up buying a whole another set of Rings. At the time I couldnt buy just one. I got a whole lot of spares now.
But Ive got the disc sander technigue down now, and it is the method I prefer. I can buzz up a set in 5 minutes, Just kidding.

Just went through the whole shortblock assembly this weekend-bearing clearance,spiral locks,ring filing,cam degree,final deck height check. As far as the ring filing, I found that I never put the same amount of tension on each as I filed so I just used a base number of strokes for each ring, top(15) and second(10), then adjusted from there. Having the filer next to the block-major time saver, but still didn't help my back out much. This little device would sure be a nice addition to the garage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHSoSZvHoCo
