My mate made some Cast iron pistons for the 1917 Thornycroft lorry he bought off my father. And when I say made, he made the pattern and machined them himself.
They were round, and picked up in the bore and the engine stuck for a moment. They picked up near the gudgeon pins.
A good agressive hone of the bores, and a light skim of the pistons to increase the clearance and all was well
