.020 top and 2nd ring rap
I bought some non oem ITR pistons and hastings rings from Camp1320 in 81.5mm.
The bores where opened up to a .0015 pěston to wall clearance. Now when I went to measure piston ring gap on the hastings rings they seem to wide at .020" on almost all (some where .021).
I measured the clearance pushing the rings into the block de height of the piston.
What should I do?? return the rings or what?? Do people normally run these clearances or tighter for better compresion and more power?
TIA
