right im confused here... about piston clearance...
Say i had my block honed.. (which i did..
) so i had a clearance of 3.5 thou...
then am i not right in thinking 20 thou is actually a MUCH smaller clearance than mine everone is saying it too much of a clearance.. isnt it too small if anything?

Still, and bearing in mind my father worked in motorsport at the time, I don't want to cast any dispersions on Spencers death. That was an awful thing to happen................. at least I walked away from mine.

), cut it into 1000 identical pieces, now take out 20 pieces with one hand, and 3 pieces with the other, which hand has more cake in it? Still think 20 thou is smaller then 3.5 thou?

3 1/2 thou = 0.0053 inches or .0889 mm
20 thou would burn oil like crazy and rattle like a cement mixer full of ball bearings
