WOOHOO my first post here! Im curious as to where people place the ring end gaps on their pistons for 2.5 turbo applications. Does it really matter as long as their staggered? On my last rebuild I lined them all up with the piston pin "180 degrees staggered from top ring to oil control rings" and I never experienced any oil control issues. Some say the rings will migrate during operation but I have not noticed this at all on the engines I have built and torn down "not to say it doesnt occur". BTW, Im using JEs with hasting rings. Thanks!
