The JE pistons have a good write-up on determining the proper ring gap. The rotary style ring file works great and they are available even at NAPA (for < $100 IIRC). A couple words of advice. 1- Sneak up on the desired ring gap. Too many folks start "grinding" er filing away and the next thing they know is that the gap is now to large. 2 - Buy a nice set of fine honing stones to take the burrs off of the freshly filed ring gap before installing them on the piston.
