RING END GAP CALCULATOR
Too little ring end gap can result in catastrophic engine damage! Always inspect ring end gap during the assembly process and correct this before final assembly!
As a general guideline, ring end gap that is larger than expected is less of an operational concern than too little end gap. Compression ring end gap that measures over spec by more than 30% over max, will have minimal impact on the operation and sealing of the compression ring.
The condition of the cylinder, cylinder wall finish, piston ring groove, and ring interface are critical relationships to the function and sealing of the piston ring.
