Well, I get that. I have built plenty of engines, but not so much little ones like these. I know ring gap is paramount to engine performance and, most of all, longevity. I was just saying that of all the issues I've seen with china girl engines, I've never heard of ring gap being one of them.
Also, as I was saying about the locator pin, the ring clamps around it at the ends. So that must be taken into consideration when checking the gap. At least that's true of the ones I've worked on. Some may be different, and your mileage may vary.
