Re: Engine overhaul options/decision
If I read your measurements correctly it looks like you have from 0.017 to 0.024 inch clearance between the pistons and the cylinders. I think the clearance is supposed to be 0.002 to 0.004 inch if my memory serves me. In any case, new pistons are needed.
How is the rest of the engine? Bearings?, Piston pins?, Camshaft? etc.? I would probably take it somewhere to get it rebuilt.
