Every brand I know of make the pistons under size to fit the over size bore, you have a bad set if they aren't smaller on the skirts than the 4.350 bore size Send them back and get the correct size Maybe they where made for a 4.355 bore size A .030" over piston for 4.350" bore size should be 4.345" or smaller if it's a forged slug. Most will want at least .005" wall clearance. The clearance is "built in." If they are really 4.350", then they aren't for a .030" over 440.
