Re: What is Correct Piston for 1954 with 327 cid Engine?

The top slot you measured is .108. The top ring is 3/32 which is .093. That leaves .015 vertical clearance. I do not have a shop or Chilton's handy but that is far in excess of allowable wear, The up and down motion of the ring will cause them to break eventually.
