Keep in mind that 0.05 mm is 0.002". That's a pretty small 
difference. The thing to look for is a matching blue dot on the 
topmost cylinder fin, facing the head. Those often persist, even 
after quite a few years, but maybe not after this many years.

I think what we tend to find after all these years, are the smallest 
pistons and the largest cylinders.
