Fix for this?

I guess I could try to give you more answers. Many stroke/bore combinations actually pull the piston slightly out of the bore add that to the fact that pistons are clearanced for the crankshaft and or short skirt can leave a lot to be desired when in comes to keeping the piston from rocking in the bore= causing accelerated piston skirt/bore wear. Pistons to wall clearance can also cause this but due to thermal expansion of the piston there is only so much you can do.

After cleaning up a few piston tops, it looks like detonation has been occurring. Is this the typical skirt pattern seen from detonation? Possible lubrication or clearance issue? Cooling issue?

Cylinders measure pretty round and straight at 4.1275 +/- .0005 with the +/- being at the bottoms. Measured in 4 directions at 3 depths.
Piston skirts all measure 4.125 at widest dimensions. Land diameter is 4.084.
So I get .00125 for PB clearance?? (4.1275 - 4.125) / 2
Or is it just calculated as bore diameter - piston diameter? In that case it would be .0025

With a torque plate bolted on, the taper in the cylinders might go away.

I think it is probably correct at .005 PB, but I was reading the bore gauge(.0005) wrong. What threw me off was I used a dial caliper at the top of the bore as a sanity check and it was telling me it was under 4.130. Now it looks like that caliper reads around .002 under actual.
