Default Piston weight within what range?

I was weighing my pistons today. Should the pistons be + or - how many grams?

You can probably keep playing around with the rods and pistons and get them matched up to within 1 gram.

I always weigh the pistons, pins, rods, and rod bolts separately, then mix and match them all. I can get each assembly to within 0.1 grams of each other.

Actually, 1.5g seems a bit off. You might want to file them to within at least a gram of each other first. I've never done it, so I forget where you're supposed to remove material though. I know there's a specific spot you need to file.
