I needed to modify my post and qualify why my engine builder mate hates Ross pistons so much... I had might as well post here
Clearances ae 4.5 - 5 thou where CP and J&E etc are around 2. This means they have protuding rings. Their tolerances just are not as tight or consistent as others seem to get.
They also are a lot more taper in the piston, which means they tend to rattle a lot when cold, though less when hot.
They also expand a lot more than other pistons.
Hope that helps.
