Default Re: 3 ring pistons

Since they are ford pistons they came without pins installed...should be pins available from several of the big parts vendors and the piston manufacturers like Egge.
They are early non offset pistonpins...puts them in the up to -48 era...starting out as a mercury part.
Ford pistons are made to fit a bore size...bore .060 and they should work just fine..
Ford went to 4-ring pistons to handle oil control issues...are we worried about oilconsumption ?...are modern piston rings better...is it a real problem to worry about in a hobby car...
