Sorry to say, but my '82 Euro pistons had more than enough space for the clip to fall out. I'm pretty sure all the SC malhe pistons were similar in shape, but I have been wrong before.
Have you pulled the engine yet? or are you trying for an in-car diagnosis/fix? A missing piston pin clip would essentially require you to tear the engine down to the short block to fix. Though much of the valve train can remain intact.
A bore scope would be good to have. You may be able to borrow one locally or there are several for sale from $3-500... not cheap, but if all is well it will save you that much or more in tear down inspection costs. Then if you find the wall is ruined you still have to tear it down... but only the one side.
Best regards,
Michael
