Anyways this question is better answered by a builder, since they will have more trial and error to fall back on. However for starters most manufacturers give you a minimum spec per application. This is typically in the .004 to .007 X bore, range. Stock bore is 86mm I believe. 86 mm is 3.3858 inch. Say you went with the larger of the minimum 3.3858 X .0070 = 0.0237 top ring gap. I don’t know what the stock top gap is, but I would guess it’s about 1/2 or less then the 0.0237
I know that doesn’t really answer your question. Ask 10 builders you might get 10 different answers. You should discuss it with them and the manufacturer.
