Another thing i was taught when 'gapping' rings prior to installation on a non-rebored cylinder is to check the gaps with them on the non-thrust side of the engine, as the cylinders have a tendency to wear more on the thrust side and be slightly out of round so if the gap is set on the thrust side it can give a false reading. Of course if a cylinder is that noticably worn it should be re-bored, but a good many of the customers where i used to work were 'careful' with their money and 'just put some rings in it boy, it'll be fine' was the usual response!
Agree 100% with that too.
