Using the most-up to-date technology available, to me, my Stamps.Com postal s=
cale.  I find that #1&4 are 55grams heavier at 1.697kg, than #2&3 at 1.640&4=
7kg.  So the weight variance follows to brand difference.  They all look the=
 same, flat top and full skirt. =20

Now off till next week to a machine shop with better scales and the ability t=
o fix it.  Will be taking the crank and flywheel as well for balance checkin=
g. =20

Thanks to all who responded. =20

Best,

Indeed.  When I was in college I drove an MGB.  (there.  I said it.  Now you=
 know.)  At one point I decided to rebuild the engine.  Now, at some point d=

on.  My engine had two of each.  I drove it that way for quite a few years a=
nd who knows how long it had been that way before I got it.

I'm sure it contributed to the roughness of the engine but it ran just the s=
ame.

Having the same pistons in the same engine at the same time is surely the pr=
eferred method by anyone who might know the difference and or gives a damn. =
 However, I'm sure it's possible to keep a TR engine running with different c=
ombinations of just about any part that would fit.  Even different size pist=
ons, of course with their matching liners, would still make an engine run an=
d propel the car down the road.  For how long and at what speeds or level of=
 performance is another story.=20
The end result is up to you and depend on your requirements.=20
