What information do I need to match these pistons to my engine?
You need the engine code, bore size, stroke, rod length, pin diameter and target compression ratio. These determine the correct piston compression height and crown design.
How should ring gaps be set for these pistons?
Ring gaps must be set by your engine builder based on fuel type, boost level and the intended rpm range. Forced-induction engines usually require larger gaps.
