Default Re: AM Rings?

In reading federal mogel and others .002 to .004 is the recommended value.....several articles noted this is the minimum for allowing gas pressure to seal the ring against the piston wall.

I do not see these as having excessive back clearance.

I do not see ring flutter as an issue..apparently you need 840o RPM for this to happen
