you think i don't hand file my ring gaps ?

LOL. npr ring sets are mandatory file to fit.

Oh i dont' believe in coating piston skirts. maybe have them wpc treated, but no need to coat them.

 

Waiting for specs on my block, its at the machine shop now.They're suppose to let me know how bad it is wether I can run stock bore or have to go bigger.

 

why cant you decide for yourself ?

what happened

 

No idea what you do or what "npr" rings require. All I am saying is that if .006" + gap difference is acceptable to you then run with it. I don't accept that, not even on a little old N/A 302.

 

Oh, i don't do it either, i'm just saying. i take everything to .0002"

 

well i dont run it if it varies more than .0000000000000000000000001... i got that atomic spec mitituyo mic the other week... bitch measures atomic diameter... so there.

.028 / .030 = no blow motor... ever !!!!!!!1 say it.. !!!!!!!!1

martin

 

im probably doing 20 thou on both my first and second rings on this one.

 

CRAIG!!!!!!!!!! my brother from another mother!!!!!

 

What pistons did you go with? The bigger #2 CP rings I just did for mine came gapped .021. Matt what is your new power goal now that you are built?

 

I did CP 86mm with the NPR ring pack, 11cc dish.

the new power goal will have a GT3071 on it, we're hoping for 350 at the wheels.

i really ought to put a build thread on this site, lots of valuable information, but i'll keep it on florida fail for now.
