I set all the ring gaps, took me over a day to do. I decided on the circle track spec which equated to basically .023 2nd and .022 first. I felt I'd rather have a little too much gap and not worry about heat expanding the rings and cracking the piston. It also sucked but the are right on for each hole.

I used ARP lube for all bolts except the rod bolts because Carrillo has a special lube they want to use for there specs

And this is why i'm paying someone else to build my engine haha. i would be second guessing myself for months about stuff like this.
