Exclamation 416 SB setup questions

OK I have a set of eagle small block mopar H beam rods and the 4" forged eagle crank. . ross forged 9.6 dished pistons. Just to double chk, the rods go on the crank with the oil hole facing to the inside of the piston walls, and the bearing tangs out correct? I see that on the rods that the big end of these rods has one side with more offset. And it appears to me the large offset rides to the outside of the crank journal flangs thus centering the piston pin in the piston.

Also on the speed pro single moly 1/16 rings for a street / strip no nitrous I see that the new specs are about .018- .020 for a 4" bore on the top ring and about .020-.022 for the 2nd. In the old days we used to go a lot tighter on the 2nd but from what I have read and what was supplied with the rings the new specas are about .005 per inch on the 2nd ring.

Is that pretty much what most off you guys are running with?

I know if it was race only on the loose side is better when more heat is created as a rule of thumb. Just want to double check here.

thanks

It would appear more prudent to ask the vendor where the parts were purchased or the manufacturer these questions. This would decrease any chances of voiding any warranty you have with the parts.

Yes the rods go in the way you said and the ring gaps are correct also.
