Whats the deal with the KB 243's, good or not?

Thank you, good advice. From what I've read they call for a large top ring gap.
Yes you have to increase Top ring gap per instructions. I read a thread where they recommended increasing 2nd ring as well just not as much. They did a test and found this did not make piston use oil as well. I did this with mine but can't comment on results as of yet as I'm waiting for my crank balancing to get done.
