IMO, 20 hrs for ring life on a overbore is not real bad. especially if you have bumped the compression. I'm willing to bet you don't go easy on it either. A lot of people have started to do these mods as the learning curve improves. The hours are starting to add up on the big bore motors. I think we are going to find a frequent ring and piston job will become part of normal maintenance for these thumpers. Common sense tells me that this mod is hard on rings and pistons, plus we have the tendencies to run the cr*p out of them. We will probably have to accept this fact as part of the game. Use the best quality ring/ piston set you can get, use synthetic oils and follow break in procedures as best you can. Hopefully you can find a little more life out of the set.
