The sizes of the cylinders is stamped od the top of the engine block, along with the sizes of the crankshaft bearings. that are also selective fit.

So when you are getting the EJ 2.2 turbo pistons, you order the A,B or C size, to suit the, A,B, or C bore size that your particular engine has. Not a problem.

I am still not convinced, how does 9.69 cm bore pistons fit 9.99 cm ??? that's a difference of 0.3 cm... furthermore our engines are used, don't expect to see an exact 9.99 cm bore chamber in the block, itis rather 10 or10.05.....
