I have big ring gaps on my 416 l92.Top ring gap is .026 or .028 can't remember. I have run rotella 15-40 but i like the 20-50 vr1 oil I am using now. But I also have extra oil clearence on rods and main bearings.

Castrol 10w 40 change it every other time to the track or if I run it real hard I change it before the next time I go. I also use a wix filter which I would Highly recommend, Did this on my old 370 ran it for 2 years and my engine builder said the motor looked new on the inside with very little wear.
