Jack Merkel has found the Speed Pro plasma moly rings (part No. R-10499-30) to show extremely consistent end gaps right out of the box. In this case, Merkel is looking for 20 thousandths gap and that's what he finds most of the time. It should be noted that the precision of the boring and honing process is largely to account for this accuracy. An increase in bore diameter of 1 thousandth will increase end gap by over 3 thousandths. We also found that Speed Pro is recommending more end gap in the second ring than in previous years. They have found this reduces inter-ring pressure which in turn reduces ring flutter and blow-by. Based on this recommendation, Merkel uses 20 thousandths end gap in the second ring as well. View Related Article
