I stand corrected, back in the day the Ford & TRW pistons all made by TRW for the 427 came standard and .003" over, not .005" over, I am getting old my memory is off by .002".


But then you could be right about the normal wear and add a couple of re-ringings and honing could account for .009" over, probably was noisy when cold.

It seems my memory isn't as bad as I first thought: http://www.network54.com/Forum/75943...istons+for+427...
