Also what shape were the ring lands in ? If they have a excessive amount of play ( up & down) they won't seal either.
If you haven't run this engine on the dyno, I would, then make at least 4 or 5 full power pulls and that should get things in order.
Good luck with your adventure and keep us posted with your results.

Henry the pistons are new lands are good,this is the second set of pistons had the same results. Here in South Dakota the dynos are few and far.
