Twin Turbo Silverado Build
Hey guys i'm building a twin turbo Silverado. I'm putting a 6.0 stock bottom end with a 229/229 cam, stock truck heads, and the usual arp bolts. I'll add pics as soon as i take them.
I do have a few questions though. and i'm sure a lot of them have been asked a lot.
first off is what ring gap should I go with on my speed pro plasma rings? I will be pushing 12-13 pounds.
Thanks in advance,
Steven D.

thats a long story. but to make it short my short block had a bent rod and my cylinders had .002 wear in them. the short block also came with another set of rods and pistons. so instead of getting stock rings I thought it would be better to get some oversized rings and file them.
I would have made it a 370 or 408 but I just dont have the funds.

I called Jegs and told them i was looking for some file fit plasma rings. they told me they had file fit plasma rings and gave me the part number so i looked them up with them on the phone and i told them they were .030 over size and they told me yes they were but they could be filed down to fit my application. I already filed one piston. the thing that is kicking my *** is the crinkled ring for oiling. it fits really tight.

I've got a set of rings done for one piston and everything compresses good. the problem i'm having is the crinkle ring for oil is too tight. Is there any way i can shorten it or take the stress off of it?
