If it has metric pistons, the oversize could be .045"

I would guess it was .040" over and has worn. Depending on what piston clearance was set at, it may not be worn that badly.

Order .060" over pistons and call it a day.

With the current solar activity, close pass of an asteroid, and the Mayan apocolypse bearing down on us, Santa was forced to fly lower than usual in his initial test orbit to avoid destructive resonance vortices.

This caused the internet to skip. Just bump the needle on your computer, and the music will continue as before.
