I also had my short block replaced recently and even tho they told me there was a undersized piston ring issue causeing the piston slap scoring i still felt that the richness of the tune was washing my cylinder walls causing the rings to create more friction inturn wearing em down enough to cause the slap. The scoring also caued me to burn about a quart a week in oil.

So this brings me to another question, would 9.5 pulley actually be benificial in that its leaning some of that richness out at WOT?

The new shafts are still no full proof, the bearings are the same, the shaft is slightly different in dimensions and thats about it. As Guillermo, gwtc, said he has replaced his already ;)

BTW after running the s/c and then going to a turbo, i soon found out my piston rings were toast, I was burning a lot of oil while I had the s/c with 9.5psi pulley and TuRD tune.
