I had my rings gapped by the machine shop that bored and honed the engine and checked them when it all came back. I also checked the oil rings but they were all well over spec.
Today, I started putting rings on the first piston. This also included an oil support ring which came from a separate bag in the box. It wasn't until I looked at the rings I suddenly thought to check the support rail gap. The oil rings should be at least 0.015" IIRC, but there is no information with the support rail. What it does say on the bag is 4.032-4.085" which is above my 4.030" bore.
Photo below shows the microscopic gap, right where the light reflects. Do I need to take it off again and measure? And what should it be? Photo further down is of the bag with the specs on.
