Hell I'm in Kansas so it's that warm in the summer anyways.

There are many paths to Enlightenment: but no one said they can't be taken sideways.

hey man with the ring gap you mean 0.017 and 0.019 right not 0.0017 and 0.0019?
and also wouldnt you want the first ring to have more clearance (since more heat hits it) instead of having first ring a little less gap and 2nd ring more?

Ive got a question (like i always do) Whats tools did you need to have to assemble the short block? measuring wise. Im doing mine very soon (like in a few days) and i was curiouse what all i would need other than a ring compressor and a fealler gauge.

you also need a file to grind the rings down.. a hand one will take a long time, i set a dremel up sideways and used that, only put the ring end on there for 2 sec at a time and then go remeasure cause it eats it down quick

The idea behind a larger second ring gap is that combustion gas tends to get caught in between the top and second rings, and if it builds up enough, will cause the top ring to "flutter" and lose seal. So by opening up the second ring slightly, the small amounts of combustion gas just go into the crankcase rather than making the top ring lose seal. This is the same reason I will never use gapless second rings in a motor, and the same reason many pistons have a groove cut between the top and second rings.

why does the sound of that scare me grind down the rings.. I guess i need to some research on thatyou also need a file to grind the rings down.. a hand one will take a long time, i set a dremel up sideways and used that, only put the ring end on there for 2 sec at a time and then go remeasure cause it eats it down quick

what mm package should i be looking for? they have for example: .010 through .050 next mm package would be gauging from .060 through .100 Dont know if I explained that right or not but i think youll know what i mean. Basically i dont know which mm im looking for to measure what i need to for the assembly of the shortblockYou can get it almost any parts store.Trust me,I know,I work at an auto parts store...
Also one more question, what did you pay to have the block: Hot tanked, magnafluxed, bored, honed, and redecked. Im having mine done at a local shop and they quoted me $900+ for Rods/Crank ShotPeend, Block Tanked, Maged, Bored, Honed, Cleaned, and Balanced. I thought at first they included assembling it aswell.. but i called them and they said it didnt.. does $900 sound right for all that???
