Ring End Gap

Post by Hans »

I checked the end gap on new rings that I got from jack, the oil rings are within the range listed in the bentley .010 but my compression rings are over at .026-.029. The wear limit for used rings is listed at .034 I believe.
Are these numbers satisfactory for new rings?

Thanks
