Default piston pin end float

Hi I am in what I see as an unenviable position.I purchased Probe BBChev pistons aws they were the only ones to make a piston of the specification I was seeking & have been trying to get this engine final assembled.When I put the piston pins & spirolocs in I noticed what I considered excessive end float.I contacted Probe & asked what this end float specification should be,& was given piston to bore specs.I again asked for end float specs & was told that "All our pistons are ready to run & the clearances are already setso that the customer does not have to worry about it"A very disturbing statement in itself.To which I said that Iwas not satisfied with that answer & requested the spec,twice more only to have me Emails read & ignored.I have .010" of end float & am wondering what,apart from not ever using Probe anything,to do.Thanks in advance for your time.Mark
