Default 98-01 5sfe piston ring clearance specs needed

Hello all!

First off, not sure if this is the right place for this, so feel free to move this thread if I got it wrong mods.

I have a 90 celica that I am rebuilding, and I went ahead and bought the 98-01 Camry pistons and rings to try out in it. The catch is that I can't find the clearance specs for the rings for these years anywhere.

Any help finding the no.1/2 and oil ring max/min clearances (link, picture, just numbers) would be awesome! Thank you guys in advance!

This is what the manual has.

Standard oil clearance.
0.175 – 0.195 mm (0.0068 – 0.0076 in.)
Maximum oil clearance 0.215 mm (0.0085 in.)

Take piston OD measurement at 20.5 mm below top of piston.

Take piston bore ID's at 10 mm from top and bottom of bore plus mid center.

Piston ring gap.
No.1 0.270 – 0.490 mm (0.0106 – 0.0192 in.)
No.2 0.450 – 0.670 mm (0.0177 – 0.0263 in.)
Oil (Side rail) 0.100 – 0.470 mm (0.0039 – 0.0185 in.)

Maximum end gap:
No.1 1.09 mm (0.0429 in.)
No.2 1.27 mm (0.0499 in.)
Oil (Side rail) 1.07 mm (0.0421 in.)

Take gap measurement with ring inserted 110 mm below top of bore.

When installing pistons, the cavity on the piston top faces toward the oil pump side of block.

Checking for myself. But the "standard oil clearence" at the top of your reply is the skirt clearance specs?

Just tearing down and rebuilding my model 28 and wouldn’t have been as confident without your help.
