Default Re: 8BA Bottom Scraper Ring Gap???

I always go by the manufacturer's specs. .002" adjustment won't be hard to get. .010" on the bottom ring would probably be OK but I prefer minimums myself.

Wait, when you say you prefer minimums, do you mean you'd leave it at 0.010" or take it to 0.012"!?
