I think a lot of guys will tell you to try to avoid the pin into the oil ring. But I have talked to a few that say it is no big deal.

If it is a daily driver (i.e. not a weekend toy) I might agree that it is not a great idea and a longer piston skirt will help with stability/longevity.

If I ever build my stroker I have a nice set of Manley rods and a 4.15 crank, so that means the short CH piston. Oh well.
