Ratio), I set the top rings at .022 and the second rings at .024 to .026 at the rear of the motor(after getting to agaressive on the ring filer on the first two second rings) It is always way better to have .003 to big on the end gap than .0003 to small Been there done that Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.
