there are two different kinds of piston and a lot of different barrels (if you count port mapping diffs)

there are threads here about that, or mzmiami has pics that show where to measure the piston

why not reuse the old set?

If you had of compared the new piston to the old piston you might have noticed that they were not the same.
That is the crux of your problem.
The solution would be to buy the same piston as what you were replacing.
Your motor uses a high wrist pin hole piston but you installed a low wrist pin hole piston.
Also the wrist pin from your old piston is a little shorter.
Both 47 mm pistons use the same rings.

might try another gasket on the bottom of your jug?
