Default D16y7 piston to wall clearance

I am rebuilding a d16y7 engine and putting a y8 head on it, and while I had the block apart I got important measurements. The block bore is still good, and the pistons themselves are pretty good too. The only issue I notice is that I have somewhere around a .003-.004 PTW clearance in pretty much all my cylinders. I was wondering if anyone had any issues running a stock motor with that much PTW, or if I should be fine. I'm not boosting it, just keeping it stock NA as a clean daily. My other options would be either get new pistons, which would make the PTW closer to .0025-.0035 but that would be another $200, or bore it .20 over and put 75.5mm pistons in it, but I'm only finding high CR or low CR pistons, which all said and done would be another $350 to get it bored, and $200 for pistons. Already putting bearing, rings, and a whole seal kit for the engine, so I'm trying to figure out if I'll be fine with me .003-.004 PTW clearance for long enough till I swap it. Thank you!
