Well, after Christmas shopping I decided to start settting up the rings, file fit this takes a long time to set the gap, so I did 3 pistons so far, tomorrow I'll probably have the motor complete. The tranny has bee refresh too.

Do you have to file fit all rings or just the ones you use in your car?

I always buy rung that are going to be file fit, example 4.040 bore, so I get 4.045 rings. I gap them pretty wide, .032" top ring and 0.034 second ring, this will prevent the ring from butt each other when the nitrous is hit. I will give me a bit more of blow by, but it keeps the rings in ggod shape. I'm using Hell Fire rings.

Edgar,

if you have time, could you take a couple of pics of the heads, pushrods, and rocker arms installed on the motor. I would like to see what the trickflow heads look like since the valve/ rocker arm placement is rotated a little compared to most heads.
