The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Dimensions for .083" pistons and removed liners

I have my machinist hone to .0025 - .003" clearance. The pistons will be hard to find but they are out there. Last time I used some I used .080" rings as the .083" rings are hard to find. I had more ring gap than I would have desired but only by a couple Thousandths
