Something doesn't look right!
I just pulled the head on my 74 TR6 to do some valve work and noticed
that the clearance between the piston and the cylinder wall looks really
excessive. The motor has less than 10k miles on it. It was rebuilt by a
reputable shop last year but something really looks wrong. It looks like
I have almost .020 clearance between the piston and the cylinder wall
when the piston is at the bottom of the cylinder and much tighter at the
top. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Nick---I am assuming you see what appears to be this .020 clearance on
ALL cylinders. You would have to verify this by using inside calipers
down as close to the bottom of the stroke as possible. I'd have to say
it's unikely that the engine would run well, and should slap like crazy
with anything close to this. Let us know...
