rings getting sucked off the pistons happens all the time and ported heads only make it worse have you ever seen a piston, with or without rings on it? no way rings can get "sucked off the piston"

i didnt htink it could happen but i thought aboput it and ive seen piston rings fall into peices when the piston came out of the block and i could think if the valves leaked from the 110k miles and then you put new ones in and the pressure is restored it was possible i was asking becasue i didnt know i guess i wont ask anythign else
