The OEM pistons are made of a very special alloy

For every "my block is stock and its fine" there is a trashed block out there.
last customer block I tore down after it was boosted, the rings fell into several peices because ends touched.
oem spec is stupid tight. Personally, I would double the gap on an oem rebuild. Blow by wont be an issue.
For reference, the last f24 i built for 800hp I used CP pistons with a gap of .022" top and .028" second
