It sounds like the pistons might have been made slightly oversized to account for expected wear in the bore when you are rebuilding it.
I would expect that to be called out in the listing if it was true, but maybe not? A measurement of 1.376" for a nominally 1-3/8" bore is what I would expect. Having 0.001" oversize on the bore and 0.001" undersized on the piston is pretty normal and gives you the clearance Jerry mentioned. | | |
