Bill, those tolerences between the pistons sizes are minimal anyway. I cannot see them effecting the quality of the casting to a noticable extent. Now we need to work on a machine shop to make some plates to close the deck partially, head gaskets don't like a lot of vibration from an open deck and that should be the biggest fear for anyone making more power. Maybe when I tear down my block I can get some measurements and get two plates made
