What's everyone using for piston ring gap?
 

I'm building a 5.3 stock bottom end with all new bearings and a fresh hone. Mahle perfect circle rings. S475 turbo, freak show performance power glide and a 9inch with 3.50 gears.. what is everyone running for piston ring gap?

.032 both rings may be a little loose but im going to hammer it hard.

I usually run .0055" if every inch on boost maybe upto .0065" per inch if I were gonna beat the crap out of it

My first and second rings are both at 0.024", which falls in line with philds19's range.

Top ring .030. I leave 2nd ring alone

Just noticed our using perfect circle. Call them and ask what they recommend

.0055 per inch of bore on top. .0005 per inch of bore bottom.
