Default Wrist pin clearence

I want to put new pistons in a stock model A engine. The wrist pin diameters of the new pistons are smaller than the wrist pin diameters of the old pistons I will be replacing. ( It's a long story) The new pistons wrist pins will have a .002 inch Clearance between the rod bushing and the pistons wrist pin. This seems like a lot to me. My question is can I live with a .002" wrist pin clearance? Does anybody have any experience with loose wrist pins in a Model A?
