Piston-cylinder clearance

<< < (2/3) > >>

madmick:
correct me if i am wrong but can you not get an a/b/c and d size pistons,and pvo just get a matching size for what his size bore has measured after plating.?.

Friar-Tuck:
 The pistons should be avail in the alphabetic enumarations from the OEM, but I'm just curious about the way to measure the piston to wall clearance... I was under the impression you had to use bore (snap) gauges and a mike.
  the feeler gauges are used to measure the ring end gap after pushing the ring down in the cyl squarely.
         When I send my stuff out the the machine shop I send them the piston and rings also,

Speedway73:
Divide that by 2...because you're only measuring 1 side. Think about it. You're running clearance is .0025...within spec according to your manual.

He needs to measure the right way.
