I just don't see how that is possible. If the circlips were the same length the only conclusion is that the small gap one is hung up, perhaps on the piston cut out so not fully in the groove, at least on one side.
How else aside from magic, could the gap be smaller?
Wiseco piston yeah? QC should be good enough that grooves are machined properly. Both circlips from same packet.
I usually rotate the clips with a scribe to get the closed end over the gap but also to ensure fully seated.
You've been getting a hiding with this thing, bit if there is a doubt you need to check it again. The piston going up and down will dislodge a circlip that is misplaced. Maybe not the first time you ride it. And the pin will walk sideways to dig a trench in about 200 milliseconds.
