The Andrews book does have some problems that have been noted here over time. The ring gap spec does not seem to be one of them. Even with your original listing last year no one else chined in with "I had the same problem". Could it be that everyone else that has installed rings followed the ring manufacturers recommendation, I don't know.

I'm glad you updated your post and be sure that the members here will work to see that the problem is found and solved.

Would pistons placed 180 out cause them to seize?
