Default All Rings End Gap, please, need help. No reply from the manufacture :(

Hi All.
I need to know if my rings gaps are OK. I tried with the manufacture(Arias), but didn't have any answer right now. So, I'm trying here with u guys. Well, what i got is:

B16A2 (350whp estimated)
Arias Pistons and rings: 81.5mm, 9,1:1cr

Bore: 3.209

1st Ring Gap .0157 (0.0049 per inch of bore)
2nd Ring Gap .0157 (0.0049 per inch of bore)
1st Oil Ring Gap .0216 (0.0067 per inch of bore)
2nd Oil Ring Gap .0236 (0.0073 per inch of bore)

I think I would not worry with theses numbers. Am I right or not?

Really need to know ASAP, just waiting for this to start my buiild...

Very Thanks!

May be a touch too tight if you plan on pushing this motor.

I would actually go a little looser on the 1st and 2nd ring gaps.

I think mine are like .019 and .024
