Default Ring gap for turbo motor
Going to have a 347. Stock crank, Callies rods , diamond pistons.
It's going to be N/A for a little bit, but it will have a rear mount build. Ill be running no more than 12lbs. With a 67mm. What should I gap the rings too?

its on the tight side in my opinion. I'd go .026/.028 and have room to grow for more power down the road. I have no blow by issues at .030/.030.

good luck

Wiseco's same base guidelines said .024 for my turbo motor. After calling them and explaining what my build was they said 0.030" and .0055 piston to wall clearance (.0035 on the paper with the pistons).

It will work, just a lil tight.
