OK here it goes, I've been biting my tounge not to say what I'm about to get into. piston to bore clearance is lets say .003, Your oil ring rail is ,(just a guess) .015 .020 thousands. It is IMPOSSIBLE for an engine with correct clearance for this to happen, let alone make a 90 degree turn for it to happen with out tearing something up. The engine bore or piston is not in specs with each other, plain and simple. I hope you don't take offence to this Dave, but your friend didn't check something correctly. Every one can over look something, (except me, I'm perfect) LOL. don't get mad at me, but common sense tells me its impossible....OK, I'm pushing the button. Joe
