    Engine Builders - Hyper Piston Question

    My fresh block got a couple long, vertical scratches in a couple cylinders. Apparently the oil expanders are wrong. Of course I didn't catch it until I knocked a couple pistons in & they were too tight. Everything looked good but the oil expanders don't even fit the bore nevermind the piston...
