im doing rebuild to the lq4 and i need help for the ring gap .
right now the ring gap for the top ring for the all cylinder between .020 to .021 and second ring .020 to .022.

right now setup is N/A and not planning for boost or Nitrous
and it stock bottom end and 243 heads and stage 1 TSP cam .

 

Seems reasonable to me. Rule of thumb is around .0045" per inch of bore for the top, for the street. Slightly too much (emphasis on slightly) is better than ANY not enough, even as little as .001" too tight. Bottom needs to be acoupla .001"s larger than the top ideally like maybe .002", if the top gap is absolutely minimized, but at the gaps you have it doesn't matter.

Leave them alone and send it. Maybe select them so that on each cyl the bottom is as large as possible compared to the top; like, find the tightest top and select the tightest bottom to go in the same cyl with it, then the next tightest of each, etc.

 

here is the measurement for each cylinder :
1. T .021 S .020 2. T .021 S .022 3. T .021 S .022 4. T .021 S .021 5.T .021 S .021 6. T .021 S .020 7. T .021 S .022 8. T .020 S .022

so im thinking to make it all T .021 S .022

 

Don't bother. Leave them alone. There's more risks of damaging something than there is any possibility of improving anything.

 

as you say I will leave them as its and send it 🤟
thanks man 😊
