    I have to agree with Jerry.

    Another famous builder of mod and pro engines felt the same way. Lon Stevens told me not to worry all that about ring gap. He told me that the piston is going up and down so fast, how are you going to measure the difference. He was more concerned in sticking the motor and broken rings.

    But only at low speed. It goes like stink above 5,000 rpm. Heck; I can live with that.
