>If not, how feasible is it to machine a .030 over piston to .010, and find
a quality set of rings?
You can't just chuck a set of pistons in a lathe and cut them to a smaller
size. The skirts of a piston are egg shaped and tapered. It has to be done
in a special machine.
Just about any of the "name brand" Piston makers will make you up a set of
.010 over. Be sure to tell them if they are for street or competition,
different material. If you want the best rings I would call Total Seal. They
have always been good to me.
But hey,, that's just me!!
