I havent done this before and didnt realize you need to set the gapping I thought they came gapped and just put em on but I realized theres more to it than that and I need some help lol

 

i just googled this:

http://www.aa1car.com/library/ring_end_gap.htm

 

Hasting has some info on their site

They also have tech support - much better than asking people on the net.

Setting gap isn't all that hard.
Make sure you have the filing tool.

You set a ring into the cylinder and press it a little ways in using a piston. This will square up the ring inside the cylinder.
Take a feeler gauge and measure the gap in the ring. File as needed.
It's a good idea to spray a little WD40 in the cylinder and on the rings to keep them from scratching.

 

where can I get the filing tool?

 

Jegs, Summit, Ebay, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect... Just about anywhere, even places like Autozone and Advance Auto Parts can order them for you.
