Re-ring - end gap?

[justinhw]

Re-ring my B3 - stock, no overbore, got a new set of rings from rock auto. What are the gaps supposed to be? Can't find it listed

If I remember right the highest you can go is .012. When I re-ringed mine it was about .020. I just slapped it back together and its still running good. Getting over 40mpg.

I just looked it up in the service manual and it states....Top Ring 0.15-0.30mm (0.006-0.012 inch) Same for 2nd ring.

Oil ring 0.20-0.70mm (0.08-0.028 inch)
