Use the ring manufacturer's numbers.

My last set of rings had an end gap based upon a percentage of the cylinder diameter. Of course, they were custom made and I sent them the bore measurements so they came out ready to install. Yes, I verified ring end gap prior to installation.

JE typically use Total Seal rings. Are you using something different?
