Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but ring gap should be determined using the ring manufacturer's specifications, correct?

For example, Hastings says....
"The minimum end gap is calculated using a general rule of .004 of an inch per inch of bore. (0.1 mm per 25mm of bore)This general rule is fine for bores from 2.5 inches to 4.5 inches."

Too wide a gap is no good, and too narrow is even worse!
