As far as the rings, the Mahles were pretty much right in the ballpark, not needing any filing, except one was slightly looser but still acceptable.

Yeah, I tried a couple borescopes, I got lucky with this one, it stays in focus even when it is really close to the object, while the others became blurry,.
Actually it doesn't take longer to install the circlip with the lug, you can clearly feel where exactly it is by gently rotating the tool in the piston pin bore. I don't think it's a smart idea to clip it off, but unnecessary at the very least.
I used Mahles too, but they were all tighter than Mahle specs so I needed to file off a little bit of each.
