Forged pistons w/moly rings.   Posted by: GoFastRacer on May 06 2005,11:16 am ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Just need to verify my ring gaps on the FE motor.   Can someone help please??

It will give the gaps for the size bore and what type of application you have!.. Did you get file to fit??.. Posted by: Sleek-Jet on May 06 2005,12:01 pm Yep, but I only had to file 2 rings... all the other were right down the middle of the recommendation.   Seemed a little odd,   I just wanted to double check. Thanks.
