That is not true. This is a MYTH that just won't die. Machine work will make or brake any engines life. All this "rod to stroke ratio, and oil ring thing" was a false statement so people would buy the 331 strokers from the selected few that offered them when the first came out. They made a killing off this, and now the myth has been spread all over the internet and people buying in to it.
