Standard bore tolerance as in the Manuals will work fine. Look it up or ask your machining company.

The machinist asked me! Nothing came with the piston set. I have a Haynes manual - will it be correct?

It will likely be incorrect for anything but OEM Pistons (which were AE).
Contact Omega and use the clearance they specify.

You must always use the piston manufacturer's tolerances. Never use standard.

Use 0.003" for fast road use.
