I was always taught to allow 0.004" end gap clearence for  every 1 inch of 
cylinder bore on the top (fire) ring end gap.   Second  compression ring you 
could allow 0.003" end gap clearence per inch of  bore.
 
   Oil ring rail gaps were alot wider from what I  remember, but I would tend 
to have them on the tighter side to better control,  scrap excess oil from 
the cylinder walls.
 
   Just a thought !     Tony  G   LI,NY
