Should be a fun project.

I already filed one piston. the thing that is kicking my *** is the crinkled ring for oiling. it fits really tight.

you are going to junk this build by doing this.

by doing what? I ended up using the stock crinkle ring and file fit the .030 rings to fit. I was lucky enough to get them all in the cylinders with out breaking any rings.

I take critisism very well. I will say I'm new to the LS world so any help I can get is appreciated.

just dont want too see something go wrong for you.

ive had some luck with a few stock bottom ends making good power but the smallest thing could kill it IE: rings that are not the right size .

should of keep the stock rings in it. or found some .010 over rings something not so muuch bigger. did you think about the heat and boost on theses rings? they are going to expand and if they were tight going in wait when they are hot with 12psi on them
