wrench87: Last time . . . so you can get the exact end gap for the exact bore size you're installing the ring in. Production engine shops don't use file-fit rings . . . race engine shops do for the reason just stated. Material doesn't have anything to do with it. Drop in simply means the rings are pre-gapped for the specified bore size.
