Slant build / pistons

thanks
my68, that's what was thinking. .020 over rings were for a .020 bore and would have higher tension.

bill, I think I read the same or a similar article last night. so I believe I will just run what I have and see what happens.
the bores are not badly worn. the larger than normal gaps just had me nervous. I cant remember the actual numbers since
it has been a few years since this was assembled.
hopefully I will have good news for everyone in the next few weeks when I fire this thing up!
thanks to everyone who helped.
