Ring gaps and bearing clearances helppppp ok heres what i got,
67 camaro ls1 6 spd
5.3 block bored to 5.7
3.905 diamond flat top with 2cc valve relief pistons
callies compstar rods
stock crank
317 stock heads
ls9 camshaft
ls2 timing chain
should be 9.5ish to 1 compression
plan on running a mp t70 or something similar
want to make around 600-650 whp
so my question is what should i set the ring gaps to? ill be using the rings that came with the pistons
what should my bearing clearances be? whats to loose and whats too tight?

your going to get about 20 different answers. for the ring gap, i would contact the manufacturer. the bearings... right around .002 to .0023 would suffice. i like to run a tad tigher than that, but i am pickyier than most.

thanks i appreciate the input.
if anyone knows id also like some help on selecting a turbo.
goin on the cheaper side probably master power. but i dunno whether to get a t70 or 76 and what exhaust housing for my setup. i know i gotta weird setup trying to run flat top pistons, but then again i only want 600 - 650 hp and i need it to be a street killer

for the turbo i would select TC78 at 12psi with stock piston and you will be at 700rwhp
