I'm still a newb and would rather check before I assume I'm right and screw it up. I'm about to file my Total Seal Moly Rings and want to dbl check the recommended gaps. For street applications they recommend filling a number equivalent to the bore x .0045" top ring. Second ring equivalent to bore x .0035". My bore is 3.830". Top ring would be gapped to .016", and the second ring gap would be .013". I know a tighter gap creates a better seal and can add a few horses. Should I stay exact to their specs? Maybe run a skosh tighter? I'm deferring to everyone here who has actual experience building motors, and specifically y blocks. Thanks, Ryan
