Scott, How do you measure metal parts for clearance in that cold of a temp?
I have found that pistons will change about .0005 in my shop with just a warming
up from 50 to 80 degrees. A piston will be tight on a wrist pin at 50 and just
right at 80. I'm such a sissy I don't work in my shop if it gets any colder than
50 and it never gets over 90.

and it looks like it's going to rain some)
