Default Re: Piston to head clearancing

Yes, you can use a tighter piston to head clearance, if you use a lighter piston. The heavy 4 ring pistons have a tendency to stretch the rods a little. Especially is you running a good cam at run over 5000 RPM;s Just remember ONE thing: There;s always a reason for making a modification. Some work, some don't.
