I'm just guessing the difference was caused by the rods being resized,..
but I've noticed a small difference in height in pistons on all engines I've rebuilt.
Piston height differs by 10 thou

Re: Piston height differs by 10 thou
On my Engines I always have the Machine Shop measure and mill the top of each Piston so they are all exactly the same. Makes for very smooth and good running Engines. I always straighten or resize the Rods first.
