OK. So it looks like I will split the difference here and go with .022" for the top ring and .024" for the second ring. Is there anyone here that sees a problem with those specs ???
yes, i see a problem with it. first off, it's a street engine, secondly, it's completely N/A. follow the ring manufacturers specs for your application. round up to the nearest .001 for the gap recommended. the pistons you have, which are high silicon, not silicone, also have a built in balance groove between the top and 2nd ring. this will eliminate the need for such a wide 2nd ring gap. if it were a racing engine i would have a different recommendation.
