dawarriorman Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) Just wondering what the piston - cylinder bore clearance is supposed to be. Can't find my manual. I havne't finished pulling the jugs off yet, but from the looks of it with the head off, I've got probably right at or just under .010 in of clearance. Im sure its too much, but Im just curious how far off it is. Oh, and another thought. I was looking down the boost port, and noticed that the reed stopper seems to block it partially. What happens if you run with out one? Or would it be better to just notch it some. Edited October 26, 2005 by dawarriorman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURKE_DADDY Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 .003" 429990[/snapback] if .003 is perfect how far over or under .003 can you run the pistons at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawarriorman Posted October 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Oh and Jim, since you already replied, what about the reed stopper? (I edited and added that in there after you started replying) Cut it, or remove it, or does it not really interfere with anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistons skirts really start taking a beating past that. Oh and Jim, since you already replied, what about the reed stopper?

The stock transfers have more than enough area to cover whats needed for stockish Ex. ports,and will flow enough well past what rpm range most pipes will pull to...Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
