Aren't those just KLDE pistons?
You really have her apart I suggest going to your local thrift shop or whatever and buying a few old white sheets to use as semi-disposable tablecloths to keep your work area clean, and dirt off of your parts. It only takes a little grain of sand or shaving of aluminum to jack your potential of fubar'ing a bearing....
Also, spend the money on the equipment to properly measure the clearances... its cheaper than doing it twice, takes much less time, and in the end, you have two extra super useful tools.
Also, stand your crankshaft up on end, you can bend them laying them down like that. Cams too, lay them in foam or evenly support them on little blocks of wood or foam on the bearing surfaces.
