I did one for a 455 G-body project,and as far as I have heard,there were no problems with oil consumption.I talked with the owner twice since,and he never made any mention of it.

Thanks Brian. Doing a build for someone and just got the pistons the other day, don't like the overly large accumulator groove, could hold a bunch of oil there. What rings did you use?

I am running these pistons in my 57 Olds. No issues yet with about 5K on the clock. Strong runner.
