to me the top ring is to tight, and the bottom ring is alittle on the loose side (but i have seen looser)
id go 19 on the top and leave the bottom alone.
how much boost/power are you tryin to make.
higher boost/hp = looser gap

I agree.I generally use .006" per inch of bore.That would be 3.209 x .006 = .019".
