Meticulous Mouse For The Mule
Urban has spent many years building engines and one facet of knowledge he has gained has been on where to place the gaps of the rings on the pistons--a process known as "timing the rings." You see the Top Fuel guys doing this right before they stick a piston in a bore on TV. For this engine, Urban placed the ring gaps for the top ring and the oil expander gap facing the non-thrust side of the piston, and the second ring gap and the oil rails are clocked on the thrust side.
