I'm building a 383 stroker and was just told by my machinist that he does not recommend using my Speed Pro forged pistons due to the ring thickness. They have 1/16,1/16,3/16 rings. He said the motor will only be good for about 5000 miles. Also, mentioned that I could use Total Seal rings but that would only extend things to about 20,000 miles. Either way, he said this will in no way be a 100,000 mile motor.
Does anyone have experience running thinner rings and seeing a loss in compression or accelerated wear?
