Does any one have a picture of the proper way to space the piston rings gaps. I am going to be using speed pro rigs if that matters

I would just clock them evenly apart. For example with 3 rings, I would space them 120 degrees apart.

In the instructions for the Hastings rings we used it was 1st ring 11 o'clock 2nd ring 2 o'clock and oil control ring was each holder ring was to be 1 inch apart. Hope that helps but I would consult the company for their specific instructions.
