Default P2W CLEARANCE AND RING GAP HELP

I'm in the process of rebuilding my b18c5 and I was wondering what p2w clearance and what should I gap my rings to?I searched but could only find info on forged set ups.I'm using 81.5 Nippon pistons w/ Nippon rings, flame on its just until I can get some forged internals..

Set up:
B18c5
81.5 Nippon pistons
10:1 comp.
.60/63 t3/t4
10-15 psi
Pump gas

This will be a dd. So if you can please help me and let me know what I should gap my rings to and what my p2w clearance should be before I take the block to the machine shop.

Let me know if any more info is needed and TIA

I would go with the low end (loose) of OEM specs.
