I'm filing rings for my 16HP cast iron Briggs engine, and was wondering what I should have for end gap. .015 to .020? All that I can find is that .030 is reject gap. Thanks for the help!! Cheers.

.004 inch per inch of diameter. ( min valve)

2 inch piston = .008

3 inch piston = .012 - .015

4 inch piston = .016 - .020

Like them all, but love the "B"s.
