Alan,
if .35 is a metric reading,then your not far off but that depends on if your using Forged or standard cast pistons and if the measurement is for the top or second compression ring.

hello again there Mick, left you a pm don't no if you got it m8

there are over sized standard cast pistons m8 if that helps?

do you know what the standard measurement is for them?
sorely they wouldnt be different coz the bore has got bigger along with the
piston and rings so they will expand at the same rate filling the same gaps.??

thanks Alan
