Questions about ring gap (250 hp build)
Finally got my Manley rods. I need to know what ring gap I should run. I'm using new OEM rings and stock pistons. Also new OEM conrod bearings. What ring gap should I run for a 250 hp 1.6 boosted build? And should I try to install the pistons myself or get a machine shop to do it for me?
If I should do it myself, what gap do I run?
If I should get a machine shop, what's a good shop near Austin Texas?
Edit: this project is really coming together now. Exciting!
Thanks

You will be making more heat than before so it is possible you will benefit from a slightly looser than stock ring gap. But I will defer to those who know more than me.
