what we have here is a ford .020 over piston from ford.
inspecting them today, I found that the bore of the wrist pin has clearance for oil im guessing?

I know im comparing apples to oranges here...
but the small slugs are for a gasser 467

I know its "normal" but what is the reasoning for it?

Hard to say, Id be curious to see how different it is from the na clearance. Possibly just another thing ford decided would help these engines last with the turbo.

I don't remember seeing anything like that on my 6.9 pistons (old ones or the new replacements)
