Maybe seeking the "piston slap championship"?
About the stupidest thing I ever did (on a routine basis) when I was running the local creeks, rivers and trails on those Honda singles, was to cut a set of oversize rings down so I could cram them into a stock bore. Believe-it-or-not....it would work. I don't know for how long, because we'd always have to rebuild one of those engines annually anyway. Running across creeks, floating rivers and digging-up sand across the sand-bars just was not that good for any engine.

The proper piston/wall clearence maintains ring stability allowing them to perform as intended, but .020" skirt clearence would set the stage for a skirt to become fractured, odd wear in the bore, and as I already mentioned oil consumption/smoke.
