Is there any concern regarding short pin height pistons? When the pin height becomes so short that the pin intrudes on the oil rings is what I am talking about where oil ring supports required.

Does this cause issues with oil consumption or other wear issues? What about the overall length of the piston skirt in these applications?

I am putting my final configuration plan together and considering a longer than 3.75 stroke. Even with a 3.75 stroke the rod length affects this issue. In general a longer rod is desirable and if there are no issues with pin/oil rings and short skirts it opens up the options somewhat. Maybe a 3.75 stroke with a 6.125 rod and 1" pin height?

I am building a street motor and long term reliability is a high priority. Not a daily driver but a motor that will not be "freshened up" periodically. Hopefully not for a long time. If pin/oil ring interferance is not desirable then maybe I am better off with a 5.7 rod.
