Re:changing piston rings tomarow

mine only came with the spec for NOS and NA, no forced induction, will it be safe to have no gap? or gap is a must?

Re:changing piston rings tomarow

I held off on doing it today, since I only had one day,and its my first time,I will wait till I have a longer weekend. is it better to be tighter? or less tight?

tighter=possibility of them expanding and pinching, but less blow-by
