So I decided to check my ring gap while waiting on some other parts before I put the shiz together. I figured everything would be in spec but wanted to make sure... 1995 block, bored out .040" (1mm)
The FSM spec sheets:


MY measurements:
bore: just about 83mm on all 4
Top Ring Gap: (biggest feeler gauge i could fit in smoothly without forcing it in)
cyl. 1- .483mm
cyl. 2- .432mm
cyl. 3- .483mm
cyl. 4- .432mm
2nd Ring Gap:
cyl. 1- .559mm
cyl. 2- .533mm
cyl. 3- .533mm
cyl. 4- .533mm
WTF is the deal here? Both rings on all CYL's are out of standard spec....
How i checked gap:

I thought maybe I got standard rings hence having the larger ring gap.. but i checked the box:

And the 040 on the last digits of the P/N i assume implies its bored out .040
so whats the deal here?
