If your gap too tight.. You will damage the motor....

just had a look at cylimer and ring gap should be 0.15-0.35 with service limit at 0.7mm. i will check it properly tomorrow

Be warned.. I believe the specs. The Clymer are wrong... I'm sure other motor builders on here will agree that .006" on ring gap on a 86mm bore is bad juju...
I know wiseco wants it set at .013". And some say .016". Sorry. I don't work in metric...

i have just very crudly measured it with a peice of folded up paper and a digital vernier. i make it the top end. 0.35mm or 0.014". i think i should be ok but i will be checking it properly tomorrow. thanks for the tip motorrad. i have come across mistakes in books before and they have caused me some headaches lol
