piston ring help needed

So its time to put in rings. I cant find a solid answer on what order to put the rings in. The oil ring I got, but the expander rings....I have one squared ring and onering beveled on the inside with a dot. I have found some that say the dotted bevel goes on top, and some that say its goes second. Any help is appreciated. Also, Im putting this on a mild street build. 400 bored .040 lunati cam aussie heads and aussie pistons... what should my gaps be? From my limited research I should look at gapping my first ring to .018 (.0045*4.04) and my second ring to .022 (.0055*4.04) Is this accurate? and what do I do if my rings gap larger than recommended? lots of questions.


Thanks!
