A friend is rebuilding the FI 327 in his Corvette for normal street driving. He found a new set of older 11.0 Forged pistons that have the typical thin 1/16" 1/16" 1/8" ring grooves used on racing pistons. Do you see any problem using these on the street? Car may see 10,000 miles or more. I see no reason why they wouldn't work well but just wanted another opinion. Thanks.

new car engines use thin rings with no problem
just make sure the oil ring expander is not a low tension one -
Re: new car engines use thin rings with no problem
Ok, thanks Clem. Just wanted to make sure. Never hurts to have a 2nd opinion, especially for parts that are way down inside the motor.Comment
