Just driving whenever I want. This thing could easily be a daily driver.

There are a lot of posts here that are erroneous. Until then, understand that the internet is full of regurgitated BS that leads people down the wrong path.

A piston CAN be designed that rides just fine and quietly in a 4.0 and 4.125 stroke engine. The Rings are a big deal as well....a lot of people with oil control problems aren't saying which rings they're running because their belief in marketing hype is stronger than their own observations. They'll keep looking at EGR/valve stem seals etc. until the cows come home and never acknowledge the root of the problem.
