I pulled out 1 piston. The rings seem fine to me but I'm going to get a second or third opinion. There's no significant wear at the top of the bore. There is an edge at the bottom though. Posted a pic of that. I didn't measure ring gap yet. The piston skirt looked alright, minimal wear. There was a scratch in the bearing surface from a piece of grit rolling through. Not enough to worry about and not wore down.

I know I can just reassemble and send it but it's just nagging me enough that the "might-as-wells" bug is itching, which usually costs me money.

Posting a pic of my coyote piston next to a 350 sbc piston. It's almost like a motorcycle to car comparison. Now you can see why these things can rev to the moon and with 4 valves per cylinder on giant heads they can breathe and make some power.

And a shot of my winter wrapped shop from today. It's 12f with minus something windchill. One of the reasons vice grip garage is now based out of Tennessee.
