    I don't think so. I believe TR pistons are cast aluminum which can run tighter clearances than custom forged pistons made of various alloys, and even forged pistons made of 2618 can run pretty tight given the bore size, 4032 even tighter. @Rifledriver can you confirm if OE pistons are cast or forged?
