Read the directions! They should have sent you a spec sheet w/ the pistons.

^What he said.

But, 99% of the time, fallow the instructions. Some times there is a bit different gap if its a boost motor.

Idk if he got directions with the set, cause I dont think they are brand new...

[KA-T_240]

even more grip!

If your running a boosted motor or nitrous, i would stay within spec listed, but definately go toward the high side. A little blowby is very favorable to butting the rings and fucking the whole thing up. If its gonna be NA, still stay toward the middle range.
