Default ring end gap spec

hey all, wondering if anybody has the spec for ring end gap on an 3B. planning on swapping my 20v internals and head to an MC1 block i picked up last night, the 3B motor had a .020 ridge that would require a set of oversized pistons at a whopping 1200 big ones. this block has next to no ridge... less then .005" i dug through all my service manuals but all i can find relating to the rings is the index offset. any help would be greatly appreciated. =)

Ive fine tuned my measurements and it looks like less than .002" on all cylinders. I'm convinced that the rings will be fine, measure my old ring gap between .018" and .022" across all 5 cylinders, so a new set should be fine to push about 350hp. Still if anyone has the spec that would be useful for the future. Thanks!!
