Piston Ring Gap
I searched the site but couldn't find any info.
Anyone know what the piston ring gap should be on a stock 292? I have to replace the rings on one of my pistons...

The 1961 ford truck service manual says:
Ring gap width:
compression ring standard bore-all rings- .010-.025
oil rings .015-.062
Also check ring land side clearance with rings installed in grooves max allowed is .006 for comp rings.
