Try this once more. Posted in the wrong forum before. Found out the pistons and rings that are in the stroker kit I bought has the Mahle 1mm 1mm 2mm ring package. Any opinions, good bad or indifferent!
-
I've never run those, but I've run the 0.043/0.043/3mm ring package with good results. First two rings are almost the same (1mm=0.040"). No reason those won't work for you...
-
Many new cars run those same rings for less drag, better sealing and improved mileage (less drag). Pro Stock engine also run thin rings...likely even thinner!
-
Good rings.
Most of my pistons are either 1/1/2 or 1.5/1.5/3. No problemo.
-
I'm no expert, but with that thin a ring, I'd think bore and taper must be pretty tightly controlled?
-
Best production ring package I have used to date. Run them in everything I can. Very low friction and seal up instantly.

This portion of your statement should always be a "given fact".

Unfortunately, that's not always the case, so you'd better be sure about your machinist.
