I agree. .040" skirt OD reduction, collapse, whatever, between the gauge point and the bottom of the skirt is a lot. Is it all on one side, or both sides? Is any skirt deformation showing? Is it a MFG issue? Is the top ring or accumulator groove pinched? Any other signs of physical damage?

Lots of good questions could be answered by this burnt offering to the god of speed.
