Hey Darin, lets talk ring gaps

What are you doing these days for ring gaps? .004 per inch of bore on a NA engine? .005 per inch for a blown engine? Also what are you doing, same ring gaps for top and second ring? bigger top ring? bigger second ring gap?

There are sooooo many theory's out there from different manufacturers, different engine builders I would like to hear your opinion on this for the day I decide to machine up a 418in engine for my Camaro and run 9-10 pounds of boost from my Procharger.

Thanks bud. Plus I figured you were getting tired of answering oil questions
