John, you are correct.
The pistons must have just been made with the 3.2L wristpin center location in mind, but for a 22mm wristpin (not a 23mm like you'd get on a 3.2L), as that would account for the deficiency. Machining the cylinders sufficiently is not really feasible and machining the case is untenable (would require significant disassembly for no good reason).
The worst outcome of this is that I will pull off all the rods, and rebush them 1mm longer. I don't have my spec books with me (school) but I think 2.0 rods are 130.0mm stock. Just a minor correction, but the rod/stroke ratio would be 1.985:1 after lengthening them to 131mm. A tiny bit more piston dwell near TDC doesn't hurt.
Thanks for all the ideas everyone
Scott
