I'd like to see what is on the box if you would share.
Everything I tough him since 2000 at WHITE ROSE Hill Climb site and other discussions since that time. ..................lm

The Wiseco piston your speaking of specs out at .0019" clearance. It's not only 3 grams lighter its superior to stock ART cast piston. This forged Wiseco can handle detonation better. Rings and ring lands are also better for sealing. I have had zero issues using them but I do make sure sleeves are installed with .003- .004" interference for proper heat transfer.

Got a new problem...I'm not sure how this happened and did not notice until yesterday but the base of my cylinder sleeve is cracked and will need to be replaced. Does anybody have an extra one they would be willing to sell? Or know where I can get one? So far my best option looks like sending back the pistons I just got in and getting the entire piston kit (with new sleeves) from classic Honda with another $100 spent. A rather disappointing discovery :(

Probably the best option....
