What Ring Gap for FI motor?
What Ring Gap for FI motor? WHat ring Gaps are you guys running on your motor's? I am rebuilding a 8.5 to 1 LT1 that will see about 16lbs of boost with an Intrcooler and rear mount system. Just looking for recomendations so help me out, Please. Thanks, Lata, Ark
Here is what Mahle reccomends
.055xbore=gap
that is for forced induction, however most use a larger gap, closer to a .065 to calculate. And Kurt at W2W is saying to have the first ring gapped to what you want (ie use formula) and then add some to the second ring to make it a bit larger.
does this make any sense, I sure hope so

Yep I think I got it ! WOW that seems off!
If its a 4.0" bore times .055 that = 0.22 which seems not right? Did I mess that up? How Much More should the 2nd ring be than the first?
Set me streight if I am off? Thanks, Lata, Ark
