Piston - cylinder clearance too tight?
#16
All my pistons were bigger than that by a considerable amount. In fact, two of them were over the stated maximum size for the group, although they were all from a group 1 engine.
Here's a spreadsheet I made to track my dimensions: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
Just a thought: Are you measuring in the right place? Spec says to measure the bore ~65mm from upper edge, traverse to engine block, with the crank girdle mounted and tighten to spec. Pistons are measured ~62mm down from piston crown, 90deg offset from pin axis.
