becouse IMO with the super short skirts thats used in the 512, theres roughly 1/2 the support in
the bore as compared to a relativly stock setup. which cause the piston to load the trust side of the
bore like nobodies buisness. also I believe that the p/pins are into the oil rings, reducing oil control
of those rings. not saying its a bad motor, becouse its not. Its just not a reliable street engine. way
better off going with the 400/470 for the long term street use.

The trick to the 440 Source 512 kit is the big block chevy journals. With the smaller chevy journals clearancing is generally not needed and it also uses a lower piston pin configuration so it doesn't require special rings.
