That's something JE should answer. Call them with a part number, usually stamped underneath the piston, and they will answer for you. It should have been on an information card that came with the pistons, and/or written on the box somewhere.

IMO, .005" is kind of loose, usually .004-.0045" is normal. It may be a bit noisy on start up, but it will probably be ok. Again, JE knows more about the characteristics of this piston, so they would know better than me.
