Same clearance as std which is in the manual
If you download the proper workshop manual from Ash,s aladins cave it will give you max/mim bore size plus max/min piston size. All my manuals are packed away so i can't do it for you

All my manuals are packed away so i can't do it for youOf course, I understand. Unfortunately it looks like the aladdin's cave is having issues with the 550 folder either being empty or tree controls not functioning. I've found some workshop manuals elsewhere with min max bore plus min max piston sizes. However I'm either completely missing something or there is an error in the manual (probably not the latter). Is the standard piston diameter really that variable?However if I assume the miss print is 58.47 then I'd say clearances are 0.01mm - 0.04mm, would I be correct in these calculations?

You need 1 thou clearance on the aftermarket Sliver pistons. And the pistons need to be matched and numbered to each individual bore I have had 1mm over size pistons from Sliver that were only 0.69mm over size
