Default UPDATE A question on Les Andrews's ring specs

Les specifies ring gaps as .012-.015 for top; .010-.012 for middle. .008-.010 for bottom.
Tbirdtbird specifies .022 top; .-016-.018 for middle.

I used Les's when I put my engine together. I didn't have Tbird's specs at that time. The engine seems pretty tight when it's warmed up. Now I'm wondering if I should tear it down and reset the gap.

These are significantly different. Can anyone explain that?

See 5/21/15 followup below.
