Honestly I don't know. They shouldn't be. I told him that it could be running 20-25lbs of boost so he adjusted gap. Only got up to 10psi on test pass.

No check to see if they all float on pistons free. They get stuck with detonation pounds ring land and pitches second ring. Take a look

All rings are loose/free on pistons. Bearings look like new.

Gibtec custom pistons. Told builder engine could make 1500hp so he speced 1500hp pistons. They have 3mm rings.
