Default Re: Piston and cylinder clearance / measurement???

The popular, foreign made pistons sold by most of the suppliers call for .003 clearance. That is too tight for these pistons, they are solid skirt and they mistakenly give the spec that is used for a split skirt piston which is a different animal. They need to be set up looser as has been suggested here.
