Group 0 = piston dia. 90.845-90.855 mm = cyinder dia. 90.898-90.908 mm
Group 1 = piston dia. 90.855-90.865 mm = cyinder dia. 90.908-90.918 mm
Group 2 = piston dia. 90.865-90.875 mm = cyinder dia. 90.918-90.928 mm

I think that was what I was told by the machine shop when I got my block done.
From a machining point of view I can't see how such a great change in bore would occur from one cylinder to the other. From what i understand the casting of pistons is more problematic than boring holes. That's the reason for the grading of pistons.
