    I'm rebuilding a 77 WR360. It has the standard bore but is getting a little loose. Can I use a standard size 390 piston and bore out 1mm? Is the 390 piston the same crown height? Skirt? Pin size? Looks like Wossner makes one. I'd love to have one but I'm certainly not paying the ridiculous prices for NOS mahle pistons. I think it would be cheaper to have a custom piston made.
    Thanks, Brad

    Thanks, Guys. I guess if Philip is selling a standard 390 piston as a second over 360 piston, it must have the correct skirt length. Thanks, Brad
