Hopefully I can file fit the rings today.
This is the plan.
The engine has been bored to 4.28 inches.
This chart says I should do a 0.015'' gap on top and 0.016'' gap on the 2nd ring and 0.015'' on the oil ring.
That sounds about right because on my diesel I did 0.014'' top and 0.015'' on the second and its still running great. Although I should have ran the wider "nitrous, turbo, supercharger" ring gap. I gave my diesel about a 15,000 mile break in before I even thought about sticking a the turbo on there.
