Ring Gap

Ring Gap
Wanted to see what everyone recommends for the ring gap for boost. I talked with total seal and they said to run .022 to .024 on the top ring and .020 to .022 on the second ring. Though from what I have read it seems the second ring gap should be larger than the first one. I will be running approximately 15lbs of boost.

Re: Ring Gap
I have Mahle forged pistons and set the ring gap at .022 top and .026 second, and I run about 15# boost also. They have the 1.5mm rings, but not sure exactly what type rings they are, so that may make a difference in your case. I hear what you're saying about the larger second ring gap, but there's also something to be said for following the mfr specs. Maybe give them a call and discuss it with their tech guys.
