Winter fun questions...
« on: December 21, 2015, 04:01:48 AM »
So im gonna try to start putting the new engine together for my flatty... its gonna be a 10to1 461 bbc...so just to get opinions on my ring gap, im not planning on putting a unit on this motor! BUT... i wanna open the ring gap up alil bit just incase it ever happens..  i have an idea of what i should file the rings to, but id like to hear from some of the resident engine builders as far as what kind of gap you would set for a nitrous app.... any input is greatly appreciated .. just wanna make sure im in the right ballpark..
