No issues using 3.2 Cylinders on a 3.0?

Keep in mind that there are 4 different (diameter) tolerance groups for cylinders so you might want investigate what it takes to have your pistons to match your cylinders. I've never mixed and matched pistons and cylinders just 'cause it is such a pain to get everything matched up.
