Any new wisdom on piston clearance?
I have a set of NOS Hepolite pistons that look like they might have been
manufactured in the 50s. They are 87MM +.030 O.S. I didnt think such an
animal existed then, but it is plainly stamped. I wonder somewhat about
replacement rings, but suspect that any size is probably available.
Yes, I know that it slightly exceeds the "legal" requirements of vintage
racing, but the price was right. Should be forgiveable and I am not
attempting to build a "killer" engine, anyway.
Thanks,
Joe
I am off to Automotive Engine & Machine....Jack & Joe's favorite machine
shop. They are begining to speak "Triumph" there.
