Title: Winter fun questions...
Post by: aquaholic72 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..

Pistons are forged arias, wall clearance I'm not sure, machine shop bored the block to the pistons and I didn't ask..
