1.apoligize to hotrex 2. I called SRP tech and they laughed at me
1. I must apoligize to hotex for making him out to be a bad guy. The motor is not fucked up, *refer to #2* I would however like to receive my other stuff, hes late on shipping, that was expacted, but he did tell me he shipped it when he in fact didnt. -as long as I get my ---- soon, im happy. 
refer to this thread
2. I just got off the phone with SRP tech guys. They laughed at me. I described to him my problem and the guy (tony i think his name was) said in a chuckling manner "when looking down on a piston you SHOULD see a ring. When you look at it from the bottom, you SHOULD NOT be able to see the rings. Piston expansion is huge on SRP pistons. Alot of people break ringlands because they dont leave any room for 'piston slap' and heat expansion, therefore breaking the weakest part of the piston"
I said, "I can accually move the piston back and forth in the cyl" his reply "duah (laughing), thats normal, you need that" he said the only way you can really figure out if its ok, to have it measured. (well no ----) but he said everything I described to him sounds 100% normal to him. So I guess, i will replace the bearings and go with it.
I thought this is good info to share. *hince why maybe some people are breaking ring lands.

thats what i was thinking when i looked at your motor, because i know when my uncle built his motor with forged internals the pistons had play and you could see a little bit of the rings

Most people are breaking ringlands becuase we run stock pistons. Stealthmode is the only one so far to rape a set of forged pistons
