Piston ring gap advice

Post by Andy_C »

Picking up my glaze busted cylinders this afternoon, and have also got a set of new rings.

Blue manual says ring gaps of 0.2mm - 0.3mm wear limit 0.45mm.

Is this known to be correct, as I want to start putting it all back together over the weekend, and I know that what you read in the Blue Book is not always right.

Thanks.

Guess no one wants to commit to saying anything here in case it all goes wrong, which is understandable.

Done all the rings now they are gapped at 0.25mm, so we will see how it goes.
