.006 is a bit much. most piston manufacturors recommend between .003-.004

Re: question about my ross pistons help (h22_crx)

Funny. I just got off the phone with a mech engineer friend of mine who also builds motors and we were discussing this. What's the part number for your shelf pistons? Ross and Arias pistons expand more than some others but not enough to warrant .006 - .007 I would think. I will find out for you if you get me the part number.

How do you measure the piston to wall gap? I have a helms manual and the illustration has one side of the piston flat against the wall and the other side gap is measured. So you only measure one side of the gap and not all around?
