I'm using Mahle 286210 pistons in my new build. Had the block bored for .008" clearance, and plan on coating the pistons to get about .007" clearance. Pistons fit good. But with the rings that came with the pistons... the top rings just need a little filing to get a .028"gap. Oil rings are a little loose at .025". But the inermediate rings have over a .050" gap. I was planning on less than half that. Is this what Mahle recommends, or did I get the wrong set of rings with the pistons?
If I do need to buy another set of intermediate rings, I was giving thought to Total Seal intermediate rings. Anybody run these in a 800hp+ 12v with success?
