i just managed to find out:-
The "B" piston has an outer diameter of 3.6211 to 3.6214 inches
The "A" piston has an outer diameter of 3.6214 to 3.6218
This way you can select an "A" or "B" piston to get the correct piston to sidewall clearance. Measure the bore, do the math, and select the correct piston for that bore
lol 3 tenths of an inch, that is mad!

Me too. I think he misunderstood your earlier post as 1/10 instead of your abbreviation for 1/10,000.
I agree with you, how mad is that? The piston rings should handle that difference quite easily.
