[QUOTE="03SVTCOBRA10TH, post: 8222861, member: 11983"] I would not do the ring gap without the torque plates. I can let you borrow mine. I would need a deposit, and you would have to cover shipping, but I hate to see you make a mistake on a new motor. Also, you will want to get a small stone (like the ones used to sharpen hunting knives) and debur the ring gaps smooth and flush on all sides, once you file them to final gap. Remember that that largest scratches on the cylinder walls usually occur on start up of a fresh motor, and result from burs on the ring ends. You will also need arp lube to use on the threads of the mains and rod bolts, and under the nut heads as well to get the proper torque. A rod bolt stretch guage is far better than just torking the rod bolts, but I am sure you know that. Good luck and let me know if I can help!! [/QUOTE]
