Piston Ring end gap size, 810 kit.

I bought some of those pistons from cruzin image in Japan a while ago and I've had barrels rebored by SEP to their size.
The help I need is, I want to make sure the end gap size is within tolerance, but I can't find what the minimum should be, the workshop manual says the max is 0.7mm, but there's no minimum, can anyone advise how I work it out?
Cheers

Also, how do I know which is the top ring and the second ring?
They're usually marked, but these don't seem to be.
cheers

The standard 2nd ring has a notch on the end.

Cheers, I'll go with 0.3 to 0.7.
