CP ring gap question
What ring gaps to use on CP Pistons on d16 w/ .020 overbore. I called Cp and they told me .016 for the top and .018 for the 2nd ring and oil control ring so it doesn't over lap?
After a search I saw most did 18 on the top and 16 on the bottom? Any suggestions?

Re: CP ring gap question (nextelbuddy)
I 'am hoping around 250ish. 15 pounds on the Greddy kit. I talked to Earl he says bigger on top and CP says bigger on the bottom? They both have good theory behind there thoughts. I don't know I just want to be right.
