Whats wrong with the pistons?

All stroker pistons shove the wrist pin way up into the oil ring. On these KB's, there's a tiny part of the ring that's unprotected, ie no piston material under it.

Talked to FRPP tech about it, and they said I was good to go, but I still just am not happy with the design in general. That's all, just my quirkyness I guess. No problems with them at all for the record.
