So I think you have got the decimal point in the wrong place.
yeh inches! can i pm you or have you got msn as i have seen alot of your posts on this site and it seems you know your stuff!
will has converted it for me in post #2
Convert your cylinder bore diameter to inches and then multiply it by the given ring gap suggestion.
For example.
Cylinder 2.
86.010mm converts to 3.386"
Top ring gap calculation:
3.386 x 0.0045 = 0.0015237"
You're looking at 15thou which is about right
i have checked the gap and i have currently got 0.0090" on the top rings
