As far as Bales pistons go, here's a possible scenario:
There were a handful of 5.7's built and delivered with pistons that were 3/16 of an inch too tall. (not five thousandths) Mopar and Stanton were notified as soon as the issue was discovered.
There was also a memo from Mopar regarding the retainers, as many engines were shipped with titanium retainers. Neither one is excusable in my book.

See you at the races,
Wayne Kerr
