Yes I feel radial clearance will be OK with the 1mm oversize valves.
You will always want to check your own piston/valve clearance as head gasket thickness and any material removed from head/ barrels all come into play and may differ from mine.

No issues at all with radial clearance and 1mm oversize valves with more than ample clearance.

Ok another order has been put inplace for 12:1 878 pistons with 1 pair sold and 1 pair left.
I got Arias to match the std TRX piston/pin/rings weight on this run of pistons so no need even think about rebalancing the crank. Just rebore and bolt in place.
I found more than ample piston/valve and radial clearance running 1mm oversize Valves and extra 0.43mm lift on the cams.

Remember Over Racing commissioned Arias to make their 12.75:1 868 pistons and they ran 2 mm oversize valves too so more than likely why clearance is not an issue. :wink:
I found squish was no issue either with 0.3 mm to spare (0.012") over the 1mm minimum spec from Arias.

Price is $670 for pistons/pin/rings/clips and shipping within Australia.

PM me if interested.

Still have 1 pair left.

Ok Pistons have arrived a couple of weeks ago and all bar 1 pair left.
The lucky last pair and with my focus shifting elsewhere , this will be the last pair I will bring into the country.
The set with the gaskets have been sold too.

Last pair provisionally sold
There is a dozen hot TRX's getting around and with these Pistons fitted so to the 7 forum members who bought them, enjoy.
I purchased a couple of spare sets of rings and clips In this last order and shall keep them aside purely for a little after sales service to the forum guys.
To those who missed out.
I'm afraid fellas you'll have to do the hard yards yourself from now on and organise your own as I change my focus to other challenges.

Thanks again

SOLD
