Piston ring question
I'm starting to build my engine and already have a question. I was going to gap the rings but there isn't much direction and they came in a plain white box. They came with my Scat rotating assembly here:

The pistons have directions for "KB Claimer tech tips". It gives me a ring end gap factor of 0.0065" for street normally aspirated, I figure this is what best describes mine (AFR heads, comp xe262 cam.....). So from this I get a ring gap of .0262 or .026 for my measurements. This is all I got, so do I do all the rings with that gap, I thought the 2nd ring was opened up a bit more??
Also the ring have 8 with the shiney sides and 8 just plain sides same color as the tops. I assume the shiney ones go on top then the dull ones next followed by the other set.
Thanks,
Sean
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
