If they're for a 4.030 bore they're probably presized and won't require any filing on any of them. (You'll want to check them though) Usually file fits will come like 4.035. Oh, and it's rare to ever have to file oil rings. I've never done it but some of these guys are saying Total Seals do. That's rare.

Ring gap minimum.... I'd say .017 for a N/A engine. I run mine .017/.019
