Hi,
Another ring question. What should the clearance be between the ring and the grove? Something like 0.002"? Can't really find much specific on this.
And back clearance? I've measured around 0.004" on my first two, I think that's ok?
I can't even get my 0.002" feeler gauge in next to the rings, they're tight but move freely. I'm going with that's ok.
Finally found this:

My rings are JE but the pistons are Wiseco, so should apply. Can you even get a 0.001" feeler gauge? My smallest one is 0.002".
