I took a close look up a couple of the cylinders through the sump opening with my mirror yesterday and it appears that there is not a gap between the piston and cylinder where the wrist pin inserts. This sounds similar to the "slipper skirt" configuration that Walt mentioned above and appears to be good news for me, but Im confused at the fact that these do not seem to be typical pistons for a 3.0. While checking for 3.0 pistons on this site I didn't see any that fit the cylinder snug around the bottom of the piston.

Any thoughts from those of you with piston experience is appreciated.

Michael, the engine is out and on my stand.

Thanks
Andy
