I recently broke 3x 4efte pistons rings on a 5e build
found me a free 5efe engine from a toyota caldina.
Last week I brought the 5e pistons to get it shaved, got my pistons today
but wasn't happy too hear that 1 of the pistons was shaved too much
shop owner said to me 4efte pistons had depth of 0.27mm on the top
I dont know for what reason he shaved 3 pistons with a depth of 0.30mm and
one pistons with a depth of 0.52mm...

Could this cause some trouble for the engine ?? rough idle maybe..good or bad for engine?

reason I shaved 5e pistons cuz 4efte pistons are out of stock were I live...only other option is order wiseco pistons from the US

He screwed it up and needs to put it right for you! I assume he charged you to machine them? He should source new ones and sort it out for nothnig. Don't go putting different ones in and hope it's OK!

option is get him to doe the other 3 to 0.52 aswel to keep the balance it should be the same on all 4 pistons
