Doc, everything checks out with the pistons (mocked up) valves clear, rods clear, looks good. How about ring end gap? I have 3.50 bore and total seal rings, I plan on shooting 100 shot of spray. Total seal says .021 on end gap on the top ring and .016 on the second ring. What is your input? These are Wiseco forged pistons.

I would run .024 on the top ring and stay with .016 on the second ring.
