None of the conrods are centred in any of the pistons. The worst 'set' is as I pictured, with only .020" clearance. I still have the milling machine set up from when I machined the piston bosses, so could take a bit more off of the two pistons on one side, alternatively could take a bit off of the side of the small end of the conrods. Which would be preferable? I ask again- what is the minimum side clearance required?
