No chance for further tear down this weekend but a couple comments:

100% bore wash then, I had the same problems you described and it was this! |

well that's a good lead, potentially. What did you do to fix it?

it isnt that simple, one of the functions of the crosshatching on the bore is to retain a little oil so the rings have some lube, they are metal on metal but they still need some lube.. if crosshatching gets wiped of the bores before the rings get the chance to bed in, its game over. I should point out im no expert, I have likely built more engines than most but certainly dont know everything so this is just my understanding. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

If the clearance really is 0.011" then way too much.

like i said , just bung a piston in the bore and see what feelers you can get down the skirt to bore gap . Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

If I'm reading that correctly, your pistons measure larger than the bore? In the 13's at last!.. Just |

you need to measure the psiton near the bottom of the skirt 90 degress to the pin, as the pison is tapered so it is the right shape when up to temperature. ( they expand A LOT)

yup i agree with rod ,
