Default Total Seal ring gaps question

I am getting ready to file my rings and I noticed there is only 1 bottom oil ring along with the expander, however my SRP pistons came with a top and bottom oil ring rail. Do I use both the Total Seal bottom oil rail with the SRP oil rails, SRP top rail and Total Seal bottom and expander, or just the Total Seal bottom with expander?

Also what gap do I file the top gapless rail to, the same as the top ring?

These are questions not included with the rings or pistons nor could I find it online.

Call Total Seal. I have used them for years, but not the gapless. I always had 2 oil ring rails. Make sure they aren't just stuck together. May have been omitted. There should be a sheet giving the recommended end gap versus bore size. If not, again, call Total Seal. That is who you need to ask, not an Internet message board. Go to the source.
