setup is f22 block stock sleeves stock bore 85mm

pistons are standard size dh-racing pistons (have probe stamped on them)

When i spoke to Dave Hickman himself on the phone he said have my machien shop bring out the clearance to about .005-.006".I did so and that what they brought it out to.He also told me he was going to include a spec sheet but didnt.

Now i read almost every thread on h-t about piston to wall.everything i read said .003-.0035".anything more and piston slap is gonna be bad.putting the feeler gauge on my piston skit to wall and .006" fit VERY snug.so i would say .005-.006 is where they set it as.

is it too much clearance?should i ditch the block or go oversize?

HELP!!!

if aluminum pistons then i would say .002, if forged pistons then at least .003 cause they expand more than the stock aluminum ones......
