I figured I'd check in here to get people's opinions before I button everything up.

Thunderstorm engine - stock pistons and cylinders (honed only) and HD replacement rings.

Service manual says oil rails at .012"-.052" and both compression rings at .007"-.020". Right now I have my oil rails around .020" and my compression rings around .012" I don't have torque plates to measure in.

Is this too tight? Should I widen them up a bit or run them as is?
