    Piston ribg gap for oversized pistons

    Hi.....i have a 1600 xflow bored 0.20+....im looking to buy new rings from burton power that are suposed to be pre gapped .....however they say to check the gap sizes to be sure before fitting.....how do i find out what the new 0.20 gap sizes should be on my engine as obviously its no longer standard and wont have the sizes in the haynes manual?
