I googled ring end gap and from memory it was around 0.005" per 1" diameter in bore but double check. One spec offered was for high performance engines so avoid that one as it was too close.

Industry standard used to be 3 thou per inch of bore and it has stood me in good stead over the years. Convert that to metric if you like.
