B23 piston fit...UPDATE 700 88

posted by  someone claiming to be Rene Svastal on  Thu Dec 7 04:00 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Well I had it measured (actually I was lent the equipment) and it's a tight fit according to specs. The book says running clearance is 0.05-0.07mm, the piston says 0.06 and I'm getting just under 0.06 so I guess it's fine. The reason I panicked is because I did not realize the pistons had a berrel-shape and therefore appear looser in the bore than they actually are. Thanks for all the quick replies. The next step is file fitting the rings.

Rene
