All Small Six Starting new build

[Montytm26]

Update…got everything back from the machine shop. Got the cam and crank installed this weekend. Started checking the ring gaps. Both top and second rings were measuring .022. I couldn’t find much info on acceptable gaps for both sets. Does that sound right?

That's a 200 right? I bored mine over so yours may be slightly different.

Rule of thumb: For every 1” of bore, we want 4/1000 (.004) of gap. My engine is bored .060” over = 3.745, so 3.745 * 0.004 = 0.01498” so we want at least 0.015” gap for that displacement. .022” sounds well within the safe zone.
