Piston ring gap is critical to the operation of your engine. Especially if it's a performance, or boosted application like mine. In this video, Kevin Frische of Kalvinator Engines goes over the process and how to set your piston ring gap properly. Kevin has been doing this for several years and really knows what he's talking about. I hope this video helps if you're going to be installing piston rings on your engine.
