The process begins with inserting the ring into the bore, and making sure it is square using a squaring tool to align it properly. A feeler gauge inserted into the ring gap will show you the existing dimension, and from there you can make your adjustments. For a street engine, multiplying your bore size by 0.004in will give you the top ring gap you are looking for.

004 x 4.00in bore = 0.016 inch ring gap
For high performance engines, the multiplier changes to add more clearance, but the math stays the same:

Modified or Nitrous Oxide - 0.005in x 4.00in bore = 0.020 inch ring gap
High Performance Racing - .0055in x 4.00in bore = 0.022 inch ring gap
Racing with Nitrous/Turbo - 0.006in x 4.00in bore = 0.024 inch ring gap
Racing Blower/Supercharger - 0.007 x 4.00in bore = 0.028 inch ring gap
For the second ring, the process is the same, but with a slightly different gap, based on application:

Street - 0.005in x bore size
Modified or Nitrous Oxide - 0.0055in x bore size
High Performance Racing - 0.0053in x bore size
Racing with Nitrous/Turbo - 0.0057in x bore size
Racing Blower/Supercharger - 0.0063in x bore size

I think you way out of spec ,your engine

The saga starts with the following message: Hey guys I have a decision to make. I know what you all will probably suggest and it will probably agree with me way down inside, but here it is. I have a picture blown up and framed in my "tractor room" of a Farmall M. It was my Grandpa's tractor, of which whom I never got to meet. He froze to death getting this tractor out of the barn to pull a truck out of the ditch before I was born. Anyway my dad and aunt had to sell it at the auction, ... [Read Article]
