Well the head was just redone by my machinist friend, who replaced the seals and said all the guides were in great shape.

For the rings, we filed perpendicular to the ring edge, stuck down in cylinder a few inches with piston, measured with feeler gauge, repeat. Top gapped to .020 and second gapped to .023. Also made sure gaps were almost 180* apart so they didn't line up, though they were installed about 90* off what the manual says overall, not sure if that matters.
