if they are not fitting and you have removed the ridge from the cylinder walls, they must be oversized. compare them to the old pistons.

Let me know the numbers on the pistons and box, and I, or someone, will be able to tell you what size pistons they are. And like others have said, the only explanition I can come up with is the piston's are oversized. If we find out they are indeed ovesized, the block need to be bored over to properly fit the new pistons. Machining usually runs around $200-ish for boring and honing.

The pistons you have pistons would be oversized .20 over. The standard piston bore is 3.346. Give or take a few thousandths of an inch. Your going to have to have your block bored and honed now to properly fit these pistons.
