Your machine is just doesn't want anything coming back on him. That's shouldn't be in the mind of a confident machinist.
They're fine, run the top ring @.034 gap, 2nd you can leave alone, but...if you're like some here and are the extra cautious type..you can add a little to theb2nd ring gap as well, like another .010
I've run the 243 version numerous times with the ootb 2nd ring gap around .020-.022
I like to run the skirt clearance around .0025-.003 but no less than .0025 and no more than .004 . Too tight and it runs a lil hotter and and you can scuff the wall/skirt.. too loose and the rings aren't as stable imo and again, scuff come back to play.
Seems to me there was a set on ebay @.060 of the 116cp.
