    175 is a rare breed. Give it a few more days, someone will come along with an answer. Not that it would help you any, but the clearance on Mahle 250 circa early 80's is about .0025 at the piston skirt. Some suggest a slightly larger clearance on the forged Wiesco pistons.

    Good luck with your project!
