Just a thought, If the only difference is the width of the ring groove, take
the pistons to an engine shop and have them turned wider to fit the 5.3
rings.
Or maybe speak to a good engine rebulding company, they often source rings
based on their dimensions rather than engine make /model…

You can get rings ground down too, although there might be

Usually thinner rings are also deeper, I believe.

Modifying either the rings or the pistons would strike me as insane.
I’d put the old rings back in before I’d do either. New rings for a
6.0 simply cannot be that difficult.

Thanks Chadbourn and to all who responded privately to my
simple question … ‘‘Anyone know a supplier of standard 6.0
litre piston rings?’’
Looks like I will be sorted soon and I can get back to nailing
another of these engines together - thanks again :)–

Is there a minimum width for Total Seal rings? If the 6.0 uses
narrower rings than the 5.3, might that mean that the grooves are too
narrow for Total Seal rings?

I had 96,000 miles on the stock cylinders and when I saw the factory honing marks, I decided to re-hone them. These rings now have 38,000 on them with no issues. Good luck! Russ
