Gap it to the factory speck. If the cylinder is worn or honed ypu could have too much gap as it is. On the ltr's check the top of the cylinder for a wear ring about a 1/2" down from the top of the cylinder. If there is a slight grove id ge it replated or you will just
wear out those rings faster. Thats also just my opinion.
