It won't hurt, it just doesn't seal as well and you could lose some power.

It would still be okay, the gaps are big enough. The problem is that the blowby getting trapped between the top and second rings could and probably will unseat the top ring and hurt cylinder pressure. It will only get worse the more power you put to it.

My case must be an extreme then, because I actually own 3 Vettes. A 81, a 2001 and a 2005
BTW I would steer away from referring to male genitals if I were you. It is becoming obvious where your preference lay (no pun intended)

Maybe you should go back and reread your PM to me before you make any remarks about sexuality, remember it was you making references to me about ****%$#ing, YOU are a hypocrite as well as insecure bully I see. Maybe I should cut and paste it for everyone to read...it called EXPOSED for what you really are.

No, he owns a corvette because they are awesome platforms.

No other GM car with an LSX is faster mod for mod. Power to weight is everything.


What an asinine comment. You have the mental maturity of a 12 year old with that "insult".
