I tore down my 3-main engine last week, and just got word from the 
machinist that I have one undersized piston.  They are all .030 AE 
pistons. I'm told the small one is two thou. smaller/lighter than the 
others, for a four thou. clearance in the bore.  How common is this? 
Is it acceptable, or should I find a more closely matched set?  My 
machinist seemed to think the variation is common in British piston 
manufacture.
