I was digging through a storage tote and found a set of NPR 96mm pistons and cylinders.
Is there a difference between one that fits a 1.7 vs a 2.0?

NPR slipper pistons were a thing in 80's and 90's. They were made to drop in a 1.7 with 1.7 heads. Since the 1.7head register is smaller, the difference was made by reducing the cylinder thickness. The was no internet in those days, so how reliable that was is a question that I wouldn't be the one to experiment to find the answer.
