You will be fine at .011" out of the hole. My current setup is .009" out. You will want to run a .051" gasket to maintain a good quench distance.

Are you sprayin it or boost or anything?

My rings setup for a 200 shot are .026" top, .028" second.

Question about Ring end play Naturally Asperated / Spraying

Im not to sure what i should ring gap my Top and 2nd Ring at .. cause im not too sure down the Road if i wanna run nitrous or not .. so if i Ring gap it at .018 top and .020 2nd ring then that means i wont be albe to run Nitrous down the road .. so then i would have to gap it .024 and .028 ? Could i do like a .020 top and .024 2nd ? i mean idk .. I just need a little advice , i would appriciate it thanks agian !! .. Do the Oil rings need Gaped too ? if so what would be a round about Gap for the 2 thin oil rings ? and the waffle Ring ?

thin oil rings are like anywhere from .030-.032 is that about right ?

what about top ring Being .018 and the 2nd ring being .022 is that ok too ? for a Modified naturally Asprated , and possibly running like a 50 shot of spray or somthing ?

THanks again !
