Set to 0.3 which should be ideal. Thanks for the insight!

I disagree the pistons are too big. Special order 98mm JE in combination with new Mahles. One cilinder had a little mishap during installation so was measured again by specialist company for the piston and received new nicasil coating.
I suppose I have to re-order the same JE pistons which match my 3.7 setup but have the ring surface set to have clearance for Mahle rings which should be a bit more than 4mm instead of 3.X which it has now.
