You're probably thinking about .008". Eighty thousandths (.080) is crazy wide for a ring gap

.080" is crazy wide. What are you thinking? Do you mean .008"? If yes, then nvmyb20hatch is right....that's crazy tight!! We need more info from you. I'm assuming your NA since you posted on this forum. What's your compression? This plays a big role in Ring Gap. Too tight and your ring will overlap....this means you'll be in deep ****. Too wide and you will have bad sealing and blowbys. Again, more info is needed.
Which ring gave you .014",...top, second, or oil ring?
