On piston ring gaps, better to be slightly larger than smaller. The number ONE cause of piston ring failure is too small of an end gap. The rings and piston expand heated up. If the piston ring ends come in contact with each other, the resulting force can easily shatter the piston ring causing near instant piston failure and piston binding to the cylinder. The common rule of thumb is no less than 0.004" per inch of cylinder diameter.. And, orient the piston rings properly.
