Swain coating piston skirts

***I see what you are saying, but here is where the
dimlemma lies: For any given piston size, whether it
be a standard grade piston or an 87mm Arias piston,
having that extra 0.0015" to 0.0020" in the bore
diameter will increase the ring gap needed.  It
probably won't end up being a problem, as I guess no
one has appeared to have this problem and I have never
seen this question asked before.
