no that is not what i said. i am very good but not that good were i could set and mesure end gap down to .0002 .rods big and small end . housing bores .cranks. block bores . you bet i do. rings i would use for this build is mahle moly or hasting moly rings and TQ plate the block were the bores come in to real size has every thing to do with ring end gap how much you want to open it up after what you have has alot to do with the.. engine use... adding .003 to .005 more to end gap will not hurt one bit. if ring gaps are on the small side of spec you can run the best money can buy for rings and if you butt them they are junk
