What are you intending to do to the motor? Is it bone stock? Are you put a head and pipe on it? are you going to freestyle it or race it?
You need to be more specific for your set-up!

With that type of setup, probably in the neighborhood of 0.0045" to 0.005" on those cast pistons.

I put a 760 together last year in a Superjet. It has a B pipe, 170 psi head, MSD enhancer etc. I am using OEM cast pistons with 0.003" clearance with no problems. I use good oil and always warm it up well. I rarely go WOT for more than 10 seconds.

Damn! 0.003" is tight! Have you pulled the head and inspected the cylinders lately? I wouldn't be surprised if you have some slight scuffing.
