22RE ring end gap
I've started assembling my new motor and checked 2 each top and 2nd compression ring end gaps in 2 cylinders and get 0.014 in on all 4. The oil side rail rings are difficult because they move when I insert the feeler guage. These are Rock rings from engnbldr in a fresh 0.020 over '92 block.
Is this gap adequate or should I file them down?

FSM says 0.0098-0.0185" for No. 1 and 0.0236-0.0323" for No. 2 compression rings.
Check with engnbldr, they'll have specific details on what you should have and what you should do.

Engnbldr said i must have a a very good machinist and he's fine with 0.014 in for both compressions. He also said they use OEM rings. So am I wrong in thinking they should have an OEM gap?
