Depends on end goal. Lots of track use (trackdays, long drift session) slightly looser in general terms due to the major buildup of heat and expansion

JE pistons has all the calculations and recommendations on their site. Just select which piston and it should have all the info (including bearing clearance if you also bought their rods). There is some math involved which take into account bore dimensions for instance.

Thanks all for the replys. Im probably going with the .017 top and .018 bottom gap. that should be good for 15 to 20 psi with a 2871r for street use.
