My understanding, with no actual knowledge - just a lot of prior
conversations, is that you 'can' do that. But it opens up a whole new can
of worms, placing new pressures on parts and generally just doesn't work as
well. Piston slap is one of the main concerns i remember, as you just
increased the angle the piston can shift on in the cylinder. And the fact
that the rings sticking out farther are more prone to leak, and break.
As I said, just my knowledge from prior conversations, YMMV.
