[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 8221917, member: 8854"] As for gaping rings without torque plates. I called the machine shop and he rattled off all kinds of numbers but basically what it came to is this. He said the torque plate actually opens up the very top of the cylinder bore making it slightly larger. On a cast iron block though he said it's very minimal and the correct way to gap my rings is one inch down from the top instead of at the very top. He said if I had an aluminum block it would be a lot more critical because they distort more. You can tell my motor was still fresh in his mind because it just pops out his mouth that my bore is 3.5725 and my rings call for bore x 0.0055 so I should have 19 and a half thousands ring gap. He said as much boost as I'm running now and how much I intend on running in the future when I get my kenne bell he said go for 20 thousands. [/QUOTE]
