Filing down oversized piston ring? 4.030 ring for 4.020 bore?
I can't seem to find a HellFire ring for a 4.020 bore. The closest I see is for a 4.030 bore. My question is if I can file down the +.030 ring for my .020 bore? I'd like to run the HellFire rings as the next "best" options are at least $100 bucks more then the HellFire's. These are for JE pistons.
Any input on this?

Raising an older thread...
What about filing a set of rings from say 4.035 down for 4.030 pistons? rough math says thats about 0.0157" total ring material removed. Reasonable?
