So 3/4 pistons i'm using Enginetech rings. Although 1 piston i'd like to use 1st compression ring Enginetech ring, 2nd compression ring ITM piston ring and Enginetech Oil ring/rail.

Could there be any drawbacks/issues using a ITM ring instead of a enginetech ring on this single ring? I planned on using the ITM 1st ring with the ITM 2nd ring but I filed it down a bit unevenly/too much and its not completely mating up and the gap is pretty big (.025).. where the rest of the top rings are factory gapped at .019

This is for stock piston/rods, stock bore. Pretty much stock motor going for about 350w. Thanks
 
you should be ok as long as the rings are the same dimentions.

you did not say what pistons you are using.
