end ring gap info for m20 engine

[markus_74]

Hello,

I have try to search in website but im confused between 0.02 mm to 0.04 mm or 0.2 mm to 0.4 mm?

Which is correct? For top compression ring?

I want to use the data for re built again my engine.

Does ring brand is matter? Victor reinz vs Goetze

Thank you
Markus

your best bet would be to PM byron (maggspower) on here, he should be able to tell you exactly what you need to know.

Autodata gives 0.2mm - 0.5mm gap for all rings on a M20.

[reggid]

top ring: 0.30-0.50mm
2nd ring: 0.30-0.50mm
oil ring: 0.25-0.50mm

according to bentley

Think I'd trust Autodata before Bentley! You can't trust much from a country who has just elected Trump as leader.
For what it's worth, Haynes agrees with Autodata.

No it is old picture, but next months i will rebuilt again my engine because the shake caused of loss compression is very annoying.
