WT1 is correct in that KHC pistons go up in 0.02mm increments. I was after a 70.8mm piston for an iron lined TS1. I too thought it was a typo and contacted the vendor who checked the stock and said their website was incorrect and that the pistons actually went up in 0.2mm increments. When my 70.8 mm KHC piston arrived, the box was marked 70.8mm but the piston crown was marked 70.08.
With regard to KHC pistons, I have a 71 mm one in another 25BHP iron lined TS1 and its done about 8000 miles without any problems except the rings wore out after about a 1000 miles. I replaced them (rightly or wrongly) with I think a pair of 71 x 1mm Wiseco rings and have not had any problems since. I have read on here though that the KHC ring pegs are prone to coming loose.
