Hey All;

I'm putting new cylinders, pistons and rings on an 1835 that I have. Does anyone have a spec on the various ring gaps??? Or, are they set by the factory when put together??? One person says that the arrow on the dome of the piston should point toward the flywheel side of the engine. Is this correct??? Do I need to put a sealant between the cylinder and the block and the head??? Thanks in advance...

arrow towards flywheel, stagger the gaps on the rings, I use gasgacynch at the barrel and the case and nothing on the head side
