Piston ring end gap question (My ring end gap varies)
My top ring end gaps vary from .017-.018
My middle ring end gaps vary from .019-.022
I'm wondering if this is ok or not? Also, one of them isn't a perfect sqaure but it's close (this is on my loosest ring or else I would fix it). Should I be ok? These are Wiseco Pistons with a 81.5mm bore on a B18C1
Thanks!

I'm not sure why the gaps vary, but it's not a problem. Just match the rings with the right cylinders. In other words, the largest gapped rings should go in cylinder #3, the second largest should go in cylinder #2, and the two smallest sets should go in cylinders #1 and #4. This keeps the loosest gaps in the hottest cylinders.
Don't bother squaring up the one ring. It will only create more blowby.
